Law's Banner (Magic Banner)

This blazing red standard has the magical ability to raise the morale of troops when held at the front of a lawful army. The banner inspires any soldier in the army who is within a quarter-mile of the banner and can see the flag. Troops inspired in this manner receive a +2 modifier to their base morale as per BATTLESYSTEM™ rules. In order for an army to be considered lawful, at least 90% of the troops must be of lawful alignment and no more than 1% can be chaotic.
If the banner falls, the effects are lost immediately. If the banner is raised within 1 turn, the effect returns. If the banner is not raised within 1 turn, the inspired troops become filled with dread, feeling that the battle has clearly gone against their cause. The same troops now suffer a -2 morale penalty for the duration of the battle. The standard may be raised any number of times, but will improve or impair morale only once per day.
In Ravenloft: all the effects of this magical item can be used on mobs and crowds of villagers. It is up to the DM to decide if the mob or crowd is sufficiently lawful. Almost by definition a mob is a chaotic group. However, if the crowd of villagers is highly organized, the game master might rule that it is sufficiently lawful to qualify for a banner.
