Weapon and Armor Prof: Berezani Horsemen are proficient in simple and martial weapons, and light and medium armor (no shields).

Empathic Link (Su): Beginning at 1st level, the Berezani Horseman has an empathic link with his mount. This is identical to the paladin ability, except that it applies to any animal the horseman uses as a mount, and only while he is mounted.

Mounted Weapon (Ex): At 1st level, the horseman starts gaining competence bonuses to attack rolls while on his mount. These bonuses only apply while the horseman is mounted, and they stack with the Weapon Focus feats.

Ride Bonus (Ex): The Berezani horseman starts gaining competence bonuses to Ride checks, beginning at 1st level and continuing every odd level thereafter.

Mount Dodge (Ex): Skilled at guiding his mount, the Berezani's mount gains the listed dodge bonus to AC. This stacks with the Mounted Combat ability.

Mounted Evasion (Ex): While mounted, the horseman and his mount have a similar ability to avoid area-effect spells and similar attacks as a rogue. If the horseman makes the Reflex save, he and his mount take no damage.

Improved Mounted Evasion (Ex): When this ability is gained, if the horseman fails his evasion save, he and his mount only take half damage from the effect.

Full Mounted Attack (Ex): At 5th level, the horseman may make a full attack while his mount moves over 5 feet, instead of just a partial attack action.

Mount Speed (Ex): The horseman is an expert at coaxing extra speed from his mount. This movement rate increase applies to whatever is the current mount of the horseman.

Whirlwind Mounted Attack (Ex): At 10th level, the Berezani Horseman may, for his full attack action, attack all foes adjacent or within 5 feet of his mount while on horseback. Each foe is attacked once, and the primary attack bonus is used against each foe.
