Drake Rager (Bloodrager Archetype)

A drake rager is a variant of the bloodrider archetype who has made an alliance with a powerful drake, sharing his rage with his draconic mount to wreak havoc from the sky.

Fast Flyer (Ex): The fly speed of any mount a drake rager rides increases by 10 feet. This ability replaces fast movement.

Drake Mount: At 5th level, the drake rager gains a drake companion. His effective charge level for this ability is equal to his bloodrager level. Whenever a drake rager is bloodraging, his drake mount gains a +2 morale bonus to its Strength. This ability replaces uncanny dodge, improved uncanny dodge, and all the bloodrager’s bloodline feats.
