Banner of the Sovereigns

This 8 foot tall, 3 food wide blank banner shimmers faintly with arcane energy. Once inscribed, when it is unfurled and planted into the ground, it radiates the sovereigns power, bolstering allies within its protective aura.

This item is used, and benefitted by, a team or squad. When inscribed with a sigil or logo representing a team (requiring 100gp of materials per member attuning to the banner), and activated in combat, banner grants the following benefits to any team member who is attuned to the banner and is fighting within 15 feet of it.

Activation: As an action, an attuned team member can plant the banner into the ground in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of them. The banner activates at the start of the user's next turn, radiating its magic until it is removed or destroyed (requires another action to take down).

Resistance: Any attuned team member within 15 feet gains resistance to one damage type (chosen when the sigil is inscribed on the banner)

Empowerment: Attuned team members within 15 can add an extra 1d8 damage feach for a weapon or spell attack, per turn, of the same type of damage they chose for resistance.

Interception: As a reaction when the banner is hit with an attack, any attuned member within 10 feet may choose to place themselves in the path of the attack, receiving the damage from the attack instead of the banner.

Final Rest: If the banner is wrapped around a creature who is attuned to the banner who has died in the last hour, the banner casts Revivify on them and is destroyed in the process.

Once activated, the banner's magic lasts for 1 minute, or until it is removed or destroyed. The banner is destroyed if it is every reduced to zero hit points.

(AC 14, 20HP, immunity to poison and psychic damage, and the type of damage decided on by the players they gain resistance to.)

Note: Requires attunement by all who would benefit
