standard, typically at least 2 feet
wide and 4 feet long (though
some are up to twice that size),
meant to be carried and displayed
on a lance, polearm, frame, or
staff. It has no effect when not mounted properly or when
laying on the ground. It normally depicts the insignia or heraldic
symbol of a particular noble.
A lord’s banner may be carried (on foot or mounted)
or planted. In the latter case, the banner does not need a
bearer, but if it is toppled or touched by an enemy, it loses
its effectiveness until reclaimed and replanted by allies of
its owner.
Crusades (evocation aura): A noble-looking lord’s banner
of crusades emits a hallow effect in a 40-foot radius around
it, so long as it is borne by one true to the religion of the
person whose crest is on the banner (these sorts of banners
usually have a holy symbol or other religious insignia worked
into the design).
Swiftness (abjuration aura): A group or army that are
traveling under a lord’s banner of swiftness can make a forced
march without needing Constitution checks or suffering any
nonlethal damage from doing so, allowing them to cover
great distances while still arriving ready to do battle. This
ability affects all allied creatures within 1 mile as long as
they are able to see the banner at least once a day.
Terror (necromancy aura): Enemies of the bearer of a lord’s
banner of terror, while within 30 feet and able to see the
banner, must make a DC 16 Will save or become panicked,
fleeing as quickly as possible for as long as they can see
the banner. Those that succeed on the save are shaken. A
creature that makes its saving throw cannot be panicked by
the banner for 24 hours.
Victory (evocation aura): Allies of the owner of a lord’s banner
of victory gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill
checks for as long as they can see the banner.ConstructionRequirements Craft Wondrous Item, eagle's splendor (leadership), hallow (crusades), freedom of movement (swiftness), fear (terror), heroism (victory); Cost 5,000 gp (Swiftness), 28,000 gp (Terror), 37,500 gp (Victory), 50,000 gp (Crusades)
