As per the title. I'm looking only for RAW and/or official rulings.
The Flagbearer feat:
As long as you hold your clan, house, or party’s flag, members of that
allegiance within 30 feet who can see the flag (including yourself )
gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and
saving throws against fear and charm effects. You must hold the flag
in one hand in order to grant this bonus. If the standard is taken by
the enemy or destroyed, this bonus becomes a penalty, affecting all
creatures that the bonus previously affected for 1 hour (or until you
reclaim the lost flag).
Can the flag be flown from a weapon? Something stick-shaped, like a quarterstaff, or a spear?
Alternatively, is there anything stopping you from attacking with the flag as an improvised weapon?
Best Answer
Yes.
Banner of the Ancient Kings is simultaneously a flag usable for the Flagbearer feat, and a magic item that you're supposed to attach to a spear. It doesn't grant an exception from Flagbearer's requirement that the flag be held in hand (but does add its own requirement on top of that), so the implication is that a spear-mounted flag counts for Flagbearer.
