After gaining the ability to cast Battle Standard, a paladin will begin to acquire devotion as they gain experience. A skilled paladin can use this devotion to permanently empower a battle standard for use in combat. Battle standards occupy their own unique inventory slot and provide both offensive and defensive benefits. F2P paladins cannot create battle standards.

Abilities

 1: Rally [PRAY] - While dead, allows a corpse to teleport itself back to town.  1 use per day at tier 1 and 2 uses per day at tier 3.
 2: Hallowed Reprisal [CLENCH] - Invoke the power of the standard's deity to create an aura that periodically lashes out at nearby creatures for 3 minutes.  Base 60 minute cooldown with 15 minutes subtracted at tiers 3, 4, and 5, resulting in a 15 minute cooldown at tier 5.
 3: Reckoning - Your attacks have a chance to unleash the power of the standard's deity.  Each additional tier increases the likelihood that this will occur.
 4: Ardent Plea [RAISE] - Your attacks have a 100% chance to trigger Reckoning and unleash the power of the standard's deity.  This effect lasts 30 seconds and has a 30 minute cooldown.  At tier 5 the cooldown is reduced to 15 minutes.
 5: Divine Bulwark - When you receive a blow, the standard may summon an ethereal shield to lessen the severity of the blow.  If an ethereal shield is summoned in this way, the standard's deity will unleash a retaliatory flare against the attacker.
 6: Final Stand [BESEECH] - The standard's deity comes to your aid for 30 seconds, ensuring that all incoming blows will be subject to Divine Bulwark's abilities.  Can be activated while incapacitated or in roundtime.  1 use per day.
