Standard of Discord: A grotesque symbol of change and metamorphosis, this standard is always of clashing colours and usually has some symbol of chaos within or throughout its construction. Always mounted on a hollow pole filled with mercury, it has an unusual weight making it virtually impossible to remove once set. The bearer can either carry this standard or set its point into the ground.
All enemies within 60 feet of this standard must pass a Will save against a DC 10 + the caster level or be confused for 1d4 rounds. Creatures passing this check are immune to its effects for 24 hours. Consult the following table for details on confused behaviour.
Creatures affected by standard of discord behave randomly, as indicated on the following table:
| 1d10 | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wander away for 1 minute (unless prevented) |
| 26 | Do nothing for 1 round |
| 79 | Attack nearest creature for 1 round |
| 10 | Act normally for 1 round |
Except on a result of 1, roll again each round to see what the subject does each round. Wandering creatures leave the scene as if disinterested. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking them. Behaviour is checked at the beginning of each creature's turn. Any attacked confused creature automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn.
Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Enlarge Spell, confusion; Market Price: 80,000 gp; Weight: 50 lbs.
