Horse of Cerberus

Cerberan horses are bred on the central plains: tall, broad-shouldered, and accustomed to the sound of metal. A riding horse carries an adventurer and their gear. A warhorse has learned to charge a line of pikes without flinching, which explains its price.

This is not a Polymorph or Summon template. It is an ordinary creature with a fixed stat block. A mage who wants to become a horse uses Polymorph Level 4 (Large) and the White Wolf of Brazzant as a Large base, replacing its bite with hooves and removing Frost Breath.

Charge If the horse moves at least its full Speed in a straight line before striking, its first successful attack deals double damage. Once per turn. A rider with Skilled Rider can apply their own charge effect to the same impact; resolve both attacks with the mounted group's shared Reflex check.

War Training A warhorse does not panic at fire, blood, or a battle cry. A riding horse requires a prescribed chance check to hold its ground in melee.
