One of my high-level characters has been "elected" the general of a large number of soldiers and I'm looking for items like the Banner of Valor or the Command armor ability. I was just wondering if you guys knew of anything else out there that gives bonuses like those items.

Thanks!

Rod of Rulership (possibly applied to a sword etc) is good for generaling. Breast plate of command is a bonus. Cloak of charisma is not too bad.

My general went for warmaster, but it has high prereqs and is underpowered...

Anything that boosts charisma.
A career change to bard.
Really persuasive cohorts.
A war wizard cohort.

TrojanAx: Shoot, I even have a rod of rulership and it never even occurred to me. Duh. I think I'm going to go for the evangelist PrC from Complete Divine. It fits my character really well.

Seeker95: That PrC I mentioned above gives Bard-like abilities so I'm working on that but what's this war wizard bit? I need a cohort but I haven't heard of a war wizard before.

Back many issues ago (but still 3e), Dragon contained an article on creating spells with the [war] descriptor. Mostly, they were larger-area-of-effect and greater-range versions of spells with longer casting times and higher gold piece components. The war specialist could prepare normal spells, but could also prepare [war] spells in higher slots.

Find this in issue 309, page 44.

There was even a thread compiling [war] spells along the way.
