Flag Bearer
Not all paladins favor the sword or holy symbol. Shining brightly over the field of battle. They bring the followers a beacon of light in a dark time. Gathering the followers and guiding them to victory. Flag bearers use the power of the banner to calm fear in all that follow them. With the standard there to rally them. The flag bearer brings the power of there faith to the field of battle.

Beacon on Hope
At 5th level a Standard bearer forms a bond with here deity. The bond must always take the form of a banner. This bond allows the standard bearer to bring the light of hope to good alingned allies.

Can you use it as a weapon? What does it cost? What happens if it's sundered?
Also, cavalier has an archetype with that name.
Shouldn't it also be bypassing Chaos DR, not Law DR?
If it's the supernatural aspect of the paladin's faith that's infusing his allies who see the banner with morale bonuses, maybe it should glow before Beacon of Hope?
I would probably try another attempt at this. The one-handed aspect hurts it quite a bit. It's iconic as all hell though, so perhaps holding it should give a slightly larger bonus than usual, to make up for the lack of two-handing damage or shield use.
I still think it'd be fun to take Catch-off Guard and bash people with this two-handedly...

I made it more for the iconic aspect then the mechanics. So I want to keep the one handed aspect of it. What do you think of Channing from moral bonus to sacred bonus. With out Channing the damage. It allows it to stack with spells and the bard performance.
I think it fits the them better to glow when he uses the ability.
Your right tho it should be bypassing Chaos DR.
