Knight's Pennion (APG magic item)

[Raging Hobbit]

This is a cool item, but the wording is a little weird.

Does the PC have to be wielding the polearm, spear, etc. to receive the benefit, or can it be displayed as part of the PC's gear (as with the Cavalier photo on APG pg 33)?

I would assume activating the item is a standard action. Is this correct?

Thoughts?

1) The RAW do not state that the weapon has to be wielded, so...No.

2) "If no activation method is suggested...assume that a command word is needed to activate it...A command word is a standard action and does not provoke an AoO"

Standard action.
