Beast Mastery

The land road belongs to the rider who knows the beasts — wild, bred, or war-trained.

The Bond

Tier 0

  • Wild Bond

    Passive

    The land mount answers to a hand that has known its kind. Free passive every Beast Master begins with.

    0 SP

Tier 1

  • Steady Pace

    Passive

    Long days in the saddle. Land trips carry more, lose less.

    1/1 SP

Tier 3

  • Veteran Rider

    Passive

    Land miles measured in seasons, not days. Speed, cargo, and weather-sense fold into one steady gait.

    2/2 SP

  • Pack Stewardship

    Passive

    What is gentled in the wild is shaped at the stable. Cross-path synergy: improves mount cargo across all land trips.

    2 SP

Wild Capture

Tier 1

  • Tracker's Eye

    Passive

    Reading sign — hoofprint, browse line, fresh dung in the trail.

    1/1 SP

  • Quiet Approach

    Passive

    Wild things hear the rustle long before they see the rider. Reduce the chance of spooking the road.

    1 SP

Tier 2

  • Wild Hunter

    Passive

    The longer trail, the steadier the count of beasts spotted at distance.

    1/2 SP

  • Stalker's Patience

    Passive

    Hour after hour without breaking cover. Fewer events catch the party flat-footed.

    1/1 SP

Tier 3

  • Wild Capture Sense

    Passive

    Some beasts walk into the lasso. The rider knows which.

    1/2 SP

Tier 4

  • Master Tracker

    Passive

    A whisper of pollen on the wind, a half-print in mud — enough.

    1/2 SP

Tier 5

  • Tamer of the Wilds

    Capstone

    Once per day, completing a land trip may yield a Wild-Captured land mount — a Pony with the dust of the road still in its mane.

    2 SP

Bloodline

Tier 1

  • Stable Hand

    Passive

    A clean stall, calm hands, the right feed. Mount production cycles run a touch faster.

    1/1 SP

  • Bloodline Notes

    Passive

    A handwritten ledger of which mares throw the swift foals. Land trips carry more.

    1 SP

Tier 2

  • Selective Breeder

    Passive

    The colt with the long stride takes the next cover. Three seasons later, the herd shows it.

    1/2 SP

  • Steady Foreman

    Passive

    Lead a stable like a smithy: clear orders, fewer wasted motions.

    1/1 SP

Tier 3

  • Bloodline Master

    Passive

    Two generations on, the line tells. Mounts come bigger-shouldered and steadier of foot.

    1/2 SP

Tier 4

  • Master Breeder

    Passive

    Each foal stands an inch taller than the last — the herd's measure rises with the years.

    1/2 SP

Tier 5

  • Tier-One Foal

    Capstone

    Once per day, the stable a Beast Master leads may produce a mount one tier above the building's normal output — a Warhorse from a Pony's stall.

    2 SP

War-Beasts

Tier 1

  • War Beast Drilling

    Passive

    A mount drilled to charge the right way at the right cry. Caravan ambushes bite less.

    1/1 SP

  • Pack Tactics

    Passive

    Two mounts trained to circle when the third is set on. Bandits read the threat and slow.

    1 SP

Tier 2

  • War Bond

    Passive

    The mount feels its rider's pulse and answers. Land routes pass without bandit cost more often.

    1/2 SP

  • Hunter's Mark

    Passive

    A trained beast carries the scent of the prey across the trail — land trips run a hand swifter.

    1/1 SP

Tier 3

  • Battle-Trained

    Passive

    The mount that has ridden into a skirmish twice is worth three that have ridden into one.

    1/2 SP

Tier 4

  • Battlemaster

    Passive

    A war-beast that has thrown a man and lived to remember it.

    1/2 SP

Tier 5

  • Tamer of Titans

    Capstone

    A war-beast at heel turns half a road's bandits the other way before steel ever clears.
