Make Battle Standards Useful

[Orcling]

It would be nice if we could use the Battle Standard as a spear, with slightly worse stats than the boar spear.
I mean, in ancient times battle standards were actually used as spears-
Take note of the pointy end.
Because otherwise the cunt carrying them would be defenseless.
Maybe if they had some actual use in combat, some people would y'know, actually use them. Maybe give it a AOE bonus to UA/MC to everyone in your party that's in render range, limited to 1 Battle Standard max.

I might be playing too much Battle Brothers.

I never realized how badly I want the battle standard to be gildable/functional as combat gear

Does anybody even use the boar spear? I don't think making a spear thats worse than one would be a good idea.
I'd think having the battle standard give people in a radius a con buff depending on the charisma of whoever is carrying the standard would be a better idea.

They're very useful already. How else are you gonna carry your waifu around?

Our group sometimes uses boar spears in dungeons. Using chokepoints and that little extra range is the only way to beat a room spawning 6 white beavers at once.

I'd rather see the standard giving a buff to party members within a certain range. That would resemble more the "morale" bonus it's supposed to give

make it so that any gilds inside a battle standard is applied to everyone within 30 tiles around you (but people can only be affected by the closest banner, so no super stacking stats)

i'd definitely wanna carry a banner around for my crafters too when they need to saw boards or cut gems

but if that sounds lame.. limit the bonus to only combat stats

This would be interesting. Agree on the combat stat limit.
Maybe instead of gilding just make the banner have stats of its own?
