'''{{Anchor|Mount the Dead}} {{Su}}:''' You gain the ability to summon a powerful undead mount as a full-round action, appearing adjacent to you. The mount serve for as long as you wish and can be summoned an unlimited amount of times per day. However the mount retain any damage dealt to it between summoning, and if it destroyed it cannot be summoned for 24 hours and return with 1 hit points. The mount can be dismissed as a move action. The mount gain the benefit of a [[SRD:Paladin's Mount|Paladin's Mount]], using your character level as your paladin level.

The mount has either the [[Simple Skeleton (3.5e Template)|Simple Skeleton]] or [[Simple Zombie (3.5e Template)|Simple Zombie]] template and must be a [[SRD:Heavy Warhorse|Heavy War Horse]], [[Riding Boar (3.5e Monster)|Riding Board]] or [[Riding Bull (3.5e Monster)|Riding Bull]]. Unlike a normal skeleton or zombie they fully retain all their special quality and attacks.

The mount's newfound [[Intelligence]] grant it feats and skills as normal. If you selected the [[SRD:Heavy Warhorse|Heavy War Horse]], [[Riding Boar (3.5e Monster)|Riding Board]] or [[Riding Bull (3.5e Monster)|Riding Bull]] they gain the movement ability of a [[SRD:Phantom Steed|phantom steed]] with a caster level equal to your character level.

For example, a spellcaster improves his caster level, a bard gets more bardic music attempts, and a warblade's initiator level increases normally. You can select a class you have yet to take (but gain no benefit until you actually take at least one level of that class). This ability does not grant you spells known, new bardic songs, maneuvers, or similar benefits which are improved by taking actual levels of a class.

Her caster level is equal to her character level and she may cast up the the highest version allowable by her caster level (''summon undead V'' at caster level 9th, ''summon undead VI'' at 11th, etc).

'''{{Anchor|Undying Bond}} {{Ex}}:''' At 5th level the Bone Rider's lifeforce is bound to it undead mount. As long as her mount is summoned and the bone rider is alive both gain fast healing 2, or increase their current fast healing by 1, whichever is higher.
