Standard of Courage: A standard of courage is usually an iron shod stave, mounted with a crossbeam at one end, from which hangs a banner depicting the holy symbol of a deity dedicated to strength or war. Other possibilities include images of weaponry and shields or a helmet perhaps. Most craftsmen further decorate these items with addition symbols of war such as sharp and nasty looking blades, or a shield fixed in its centre. Finally, almost every one has some sort of bird of prey, a falcon or eagle, mounted on the top of the item. This standard retains its magical properties regardless of whether its bearer fixes it to the ground or carries it.
When used in combat, either on the battlefield or in standard melee, the standard of courage confers a +4 moral bonus to all allies within line of sight. Furthermore, allies within 60 feet are immune to all fear effects. If this banner happens to fall, all allies within line of sight must make a Will Save against a DC 10 or be panicked.
