So I play today as a Bard Flag Bearer feat with my Inspire courage at my local shop for PFS. The GM ruled that a animals/skeletons/summons cannot benefit from the flag as they don't understand the concept of flags and the Inspire Courage doesn't affect them. I understand that the A/S/S with Intelligence of 1 or 2 don't understand language. But would an A/S/S understand and receive the Flag Bearer Feat morale bonus. I argued with him that the sight would work but he over ruled me and I can't say no.
So he told me if one of the devs say that the A/S/S cannot or gains the effect of Flag Bearer. He would allow it if was told by them. So if any devs read this please read and comment.
Flagbearer (Combat)
Prerequisites: Cha 15.
Benefit: As long as you hold your clan, house, or party’s flag, members of that allegiance within 30 feet who can see the flag (including yourself ) gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and saving throws against fear and charm effects. You must hold the flag in one hand in order to grant this bonus. If the standard is taken by the enemy or destroyed, this bonus becomes a penalty, affecting all creatures that the bonus previously affected for 1 hour (or until you reclaim the lost flag).
A flag is a colorful banner that bears the heraldry or symbol of a nation or organization. A character with the Flagbearer feat who bears a flag can grant additional combat bonuses to nearby allies. Carrying a flag in combat requires a free hand.
Please and Thank You.
