Also called pennons, these small and commonly triangular pieces of cloth tie near the point of the lance to identify the warrior more specifically than does a banner. As with banners, a pennant lets everybody know where its owner is when it is raised high and tends to get bloodstained when the paladin attacks. Normal pennons give others a +2 bonus to Spot checks when trying to locate the paladin by sight in the midst of battle. Sacred pennons let paladins call upon their faith and self-confidence, allowing them to call for divine help by spending three turn undead attempts, in return they receive a +1 sacred bonus to all saving throws for one round per class level. All pennants are custom-made and will not work for another paladin, let alone a member of another class.
