*Summer Chargers are very intelligent and used to communicating with their riders, following verbal commands and nonverbal cues. As such, their rider is treated as though they have the Mounted Combat benefit (2 ranks). Phoenixes may not act independently when ridden, but a rider may utilize their mount’s power in place of taking a Standard Action on their turn. ** Passive Enthralling Presence while singing. Perform: Sing (10d10) vs Resistance. *** Touch Heal, Instant 16d10.
