Mourningsteel War Banner

Alter: This war standard is adorned with a tattered, bloodied banner of an army long lost to time. The standard is 6 feet tall and weighs 7 pounds, but can be collpased down to 3 feet tall or extended up to its full length by using a bonus action. While the banner is on your person, you have advantage on saviong throws against being frightened.

The standard has 3 charges and regains 1d3 charges daily at dawn. While holding the extended standard, you can use an action to speak its command word and plant it in the ground in an unoccupied space within reach. While the standard is within your reach, you may use an action to remove it. Alternatively, another creature can use an action to make a DC 25 Athletics check while within reach, removing it on a success. While the standard remains there, the space becomes difficult terrain.

As part of the action to plant the standard, you can expend charges to magically summon on animated armor for each expended cahrge. When you do, the armors each appear in an unoccupied space taht you can see within 20 feet of the standard. A summoned armor remains for 1 hour, until it drops to 0 hit points, or until the standard is removed. The armor vanishes when the effect ends. The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which have their own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
