The Unholy Standard: Dedicated to dark and mad gods, the unholy standard is anathema to life and goodness. In every instance, this banner has a suffering victim impaled through the pole. Kept alive through the magical energies of the item, they are compelled to hold a standard constructed from their own flayed skin. Decorated with skulls, symbols and icons devoted to evil the unholy standard is a frightening and dismaying item of significant power.
This is an evil item, so if good characters hold it, they gain one negative level for as long as they bear it. Neutral characters suffer 2d6 points of damage, but may afterwards wield it normally. When planted into the ground, the unholy standard sickens all good creatures that fail a Fortitude save against a DC 12 within 300 feet. In addition, this standard has a permanent unhallowed effect emanating from it and may generate unholy blight 3 times per day as a 12th cleric.
