Banner, Small

• Cost: 1 gp
• Weight: 5 lbs.

A small banner is typically designed with the carrier's heraldry or sigil, or the local flag of the banner-carrier's allegiance. Small banners grant nearby allies a +2 bonus to their perception checks to see the banner carrier and take their directions. A person carrying a small banner also suffers a -2 penalty to any stealth checks. Warlords use banners to provide bonuses to their allies. A small banner requires one hand to wield unless a Banner Harness is used.
