Pact of the Steed
Your patron has gifted you with one of their finest steeds. When you gain this feature, choose a creature to act as your Steed. Your steed should fit the theme of your patron, a few examples are a Warhorse Skeleton for The Undying or a Unicorn for The Celestial.
Your steed only takes the appearance and type of your chosen creature. Your steed uses the statistics of a riding horse, but its total Hit Points are equal to half of your total (rounded down). Your steed is also equipped with a saddle, bit, and bridle, which disappears if it dies.
Your steed can understand any languages you know, but cannot speak. If you give it an order, it will try to fulfil your request to the best of its ability. In combat, the steed shares your initiative and is incapable of taking any actions. If you become separated from your steed it will use its movement to get back to you, assuming no order is given.
You can summon your steed in a unoccupied space within 5ft of you as an action. You can also dismiss your steed as a bonus action, teleporting it to a pocket dimension. Doing so cause all equipment it is carrying (except its saddle, bit, and bridle) to be left behind. If your steed dies, you can perform a 1-hour ritual to revive and resummon it.
