[2020] Weapon Idea: banners.

Banners cost 10 points.

They can be used two handed with normal mode Spear stats but with no Speartip (i.e pretty sh*t cus the stab does the terrible 'slash' damage), or the alt mode: held offhand with a 1-handed primary weapon. (It defaults to this if you place the banner in the second slot.)

All allies within 10 meters of a live banner gets friendly, tenacious, and tenacious but for stamina. Banners don't grant this bonus to the wielder unless Planted. The banner buff aura is not visible but a banner icon appears on your health bar if you are buffed.

Banners are live if wielded or planted, but not if they are on your back/sheathed. Holding r will plant the banner in the ground. Any melee attack or kick from an enemy will 1 shot a planted banner. A careful archer can shoot a flag with 2 arrows to make it tear off the pole.

Bannermen get 5% of the points that their buffed allies gain.

This adds a new support 'class' to the game. It also adds a new team oriented purpose to archers, horsemen, and engineers: Bannermen Slaying. (And protecting their bannermen from their enemy counterparts)

The stamina buff might be a little extreme and might be toned down.
