Looking at it again and talking about it here made me want to put up some new reviews, actually. Regarding magical standards: having played Warhammer (Battles but also the RPG) in my increasingly distant teen years, I have always looked for ways to bring magic standards into a D&D game. When armies march it makes good sense, but since PCs are only occasionally directly involved in major battles you have to look for other inspiration. I have had two:1) War is brewing and the invading Tarrathian Minotaurs <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> are rumored to have sent a party to search for the ancient Great Bull, a battle standard carried by an ancient emperor and dedicated to the god of the minotaurs. History says that armies carrying this standard have never been defeated. The PCs must find the standard before the minotaur heroes or recover it before they can bring it to their army.2) The PCs are sent in to face the power of a local Fire Giant duke. The initial assault goes well and they withdraw to rest and recover. Returning they find the duke, his high priest and bodyguards gathered around a great standard depicting a red dragon. Imagine the PCs surprise when the standard shoots a fireball at them...The powers you can come up with for standards can range from subtle (fear, aid) to in-your-face (fireballs, globe of invulnerability). Edit: Plus, the Roman Standard Bearer just SCREAMS for a prestige class...FUN FUN FUN!</blockquote>
