Battle Standards
A battle standard is a magic flag flown during combat.
The zone of mystical energy created by a battle standard
grants a benefit to allies or hinders your foes.
A battle standard’s magic allows it to be set into any
solid surface that is not difficult terrain, even rocky
ground or a stone floor. You and your allies can deploy
any number of battle standards at one time, and any
number of battle standards can be placed in a square,
though the standards do not occupy a square.
While deployed, a battle standard has resist 50
to all damage.
