Many dream of riding upon graceful and mysterious unicorns. A friendship this pure must be fiercely fought for and maintained through honor, diligence, and respect.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.

Note: Your unicorn counts as the mount gained from Cavalier Dedication.
Unicorn Rider Dedication Feat 2
Uncommon Archetype Dedication Source Feybound pg. 25
Archetype Unicorn Rider
Prerequisites trained in Diplomacy; can't be an aberration, undead, or unholy
Your pure heart and worthy deeds have drawn the friendship of a unicorn with a spirit as noble as your own. You gain the service of a young unicorn companion even if you would otherwise be unable to choose it. If you already have an animal companion, you can immediately retrain the feat that granted you that animal companion.
You also become attuned to nature's graceful mysteries. You become an expert in Diplomacy and gain the following edict and anathema.
Edict cherish and protect the beauty and dignity of nature and its creatures
Anathema tolerate the abuse of nature and its creatures.
If you perform enough acts described by this anathema, your unicorn abandons you until you repent by conducting an atone ritual; this ritual's primary and secondary checks can use either Nature or Religion.
Cavalier's Charge [two-actions] Feat 4
Archetype Flourish Source Player Core 2 pg. 192
Archetypes Cavalier, Unicorn Rider
Prerequisites Cavalier Dedication

Impressive Unicorn Feat 4
Archetype Source Feybound pg. 25
Archetype Unicorn Rider
Prerequisites Unicorn Rider Dedication
Your unicorn becomes a mature animal companion, granting it additional capabilities. Your mount has greater independence. During an encounter, even if you don't use the Command an Animal action, your mount can still use 1 action that round on your turn to Strike or Stride (or Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim if it has that Speed). It can do this at any point during your turn, as long as you aren't currently taking an action. If it does, that's all the actions it gets that round—you can't Command it later.
Defend Mount [reaction] Feat 6
Archetype Source Player Core 2 pg. 193
Archetypes Cavalier, Unicorn Rider
Prerequisites Cavalier Dedication
Trigger An enemy makes a Strike or spell attack against your mount while you’re riding it.
You interpose yourself between an attacker and your mount, defending your mount from harm. Use your own defense against the triggering attack instead your mount’s defense. If the triggering attack hits, you take the effects of the attack instead of your mount.
Words Of The Worthy Feat 6
Archetype Source Feybound pg. 25
Archetype Unicorn Rider

Archetype Source Player Core 2 pg. 193

Sublime Equestrian Feat 8
Archetype Aura Primal Source Feybound pg. 25
Archetype Unicorn Rider
Prerequisites Unicorn Rider Dedication
While you're mounted upon your unicorn, all allies in a 10-foot emanation around your unicorn gain a +1 status bonus to saving throws against diseases and poisons and reduce the DC of the flat check to recover from persistent damage to 13 (or to 8 with an assisted recovery). Any frightened ally that ends its turn in the aura reduces its frightened condition by 2 instead of 1.
Trampling Charge [three-actions] Feat 10
Archetype Flourish Source Player Core 2 pg. 193
Archetypes Cavalier, Mammoth Lord, Unicorn Rider
Prerequisites Cavalier Dedication
Requirements You are riding a mount that has a melee Strike using its legs (claw, talons, hoof, etc.).
You urge your mount to charge into the fray, trampling all enemies who stand in your path. You command your mount to Stride up to double its Speed (or to Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim, if it has the corresponding movement type), moving through the spaces of any foes in your path up to one size smaller than your mount. Your mount deals the damage of one of its melee Strikes to each creature whose space you move through, with a basic Reflex save against your mount’s Athletics DC. On a critical failure, the creature also becomes off-guard until the end of your next turn. Roll the damage only once. You can damage a given creature only once during this movement.

Archetype Source Player Core 2 pg. 193
