Vexillum [Dungeon Vocab]
Today's word is one that may work for something held by hobgoblin bands and clerics alike, tho of different appearance.
Vexillum is a diminutive form of the Latin word for sail. I stole most of the followng info from a wiki. Suckers.
The term "vexillum" (plural "vexilla") is used more generally for any object such as a relic or icon used as a standard in battle, & may be considered the offensive equivalent of the more defensive palladium in this context.
Vexillology, or the study of flags, derives its name from this word, and a vexilloid is a standard that is not of conventional flag form. Nearly all of the present-day regions of Italy preserve the use of vexilla.
Many Christian processional banners are in the vexillum form; usually these banners are termed labara (Greek: λάβαρον) after the standard adopted by the first Christian Roman emperor Constantine I which replaced the imperial eagle with the "Chi-Rho" symbol ☧. For example vexillum is used by the Legion of Mary as the term for its standards. A small version is used on the altar and a larger one leads processions.

Bonus words: Furca is a hobo-pole and sarcina is a hobo-bindle, in roman soldier terms.

A less tedious way to do prime requisits
The tired-sauce way. |
I've actually done this in a couple campaigns now, and it worked pretty fine, though this is the simplest iteration of the rule: Your prime requisite score is applied as a percentile reduction to the XP you need to level up.
Simple example: A Wizard with INT 10 needs 100XP to reach level 2. She only really needs 90XP to level up. Easy peasy, wizard-squeezy.
Aw, I started my example on the high road to really drive home that the glass-ceiling was being burst, but ended it creepy.
