Both are among hte "fey exemplars" replacing most outsiders in a homebrew cosmology I'm working on. Black Rider Medium-sized Fey [Evil] Hit Dice: 6d6+18 (39hp) Initiative: +0 Speed: 20’, (if not mounted) AC: 25(+4 [large +2 steel] Shield, +10 [+2 full plate] Armor, +1 natural) Attacks: +1 Unholy Greatsword* +8 Melee Damage: +1 Unholy Greatsword 2d6+5 and 2d6 evil Face/Reach: 5’x5’/’5 (5’x10’/5’ mounted) Special Attacks: War Cry Special Qualities: Bonded Mount, Spell-like Abilities, DR 15/+2 Saves: Fort +5, Ref +5, Will +5 Abilities: Str 18, Dex 10, Con 17, Int 13, Wis 11, Cha 18 Skills: Ride +12, Spellcraft +13, Concentration +13, Knowledge (Nature) +13, Knowledge (Arcana) +13 Feats: Mounted Combat, Ride-by attack, Trample. Climate/Terrain: Any land Organization: Solitary, Pair, or Hunt (4-16) Challenge Rating: 8 Treasure: none Alignment: Always Evil In to world of Ærie, there are no outsiders to act as exemplars. However, there are fey which serve the same purpose, for good or for evil. The Black Rider is one such fey creature. It, and its counterpart the White Rider, are the militant crusaders of their respective alignments, hunting down their opposites. the black Rider appears as a hulking armored figure weilding a mighty sword. two points of green fire shine through the visor of its armor, the creature's eyes. Combat: Black Riders charge into combat mounted, trampling their foes in the initial charge and focusing on the most powerful opponent thereafter. War Cry (Su): The Black rider may, once every 1d4 rounds, unleash a fierce war cry. This acts as a Fear spell cast by an 8th level Sorcerer. Bonded Mount: a Black Rider has a special mount, either a Nightmare or Black Unicorn, that serves it faithfully. The Black Rider gets +5 on all ride checks for riding the bonded mount. If the mount is slain, the Black Rider cannot summon another one until a year and a day have passed. During this time, it will only ride solid black stallions. The mount’s CR is not calculated into the Rider’s Spell-like Abilities: 3/day- Doom, Bane 1/day- Blasphemy, Magic circle Against Good, Dispel Good. *Despite being medium sized, the Black Rider may weild a Greatsword one handed with no penalty.
