the banners

Arryn,

I've read Zen's PDF and understand the question is still valid. If you look at what I quoted you'll see I was responding to his request for additional information.

Sorry. I see now.

I looked at what you quoted of his post and took it in the context of the thread topic. Had I read his full posting I'd've seen his request for how other items worked.

I'm still a bit puzzled that this thread has gone on as long as it has without any of us getting the question of what +X exactly means answered with regards to morale banners.

Once again I apologize. I didn't mean to jump on you.

Well I've been futily searching for the exact numbers in threads and I'm unable to find it. I don't know if standards AOE are exactly like fear AOE (where most of my tests are). Seems like we'll just have to wait for Johan or Kristoffer to speak up.

Though I sincerely doubt it's radius.

Thanks, HJ, for posting that link and getting our question answered!

A banner 6 would look more than likely like this

xx
ox
xx

Where the o = the standard bearer, the x's his radius of influence. I don't know if it leans more forward or backward with banners (Fear is forward), but it would stand to reason that it leans more forward, though I don't know how far 'wide' a banner goes.

I believe Firbolgs have Standard +20 so that would be a good one to test.

Why do you say it leans forward? The devs only said it spreads erraticaly, like spells do. The same thing goes for fear, IIRC.
