Item: Horn of Strength

Horns of Strength were created by the dwarven battle mages to help their warriors in battle. When played, usually by the standard barer, any orders given by horn blow gives a +2 strength bonus to all in a 100 foot radius which lasts for ten minutes. If the sound of retreat rings those within 100 feet receive a 10 foot move per round bonus and a +2 to their defense. They also do not suffer any retreating minuses.

Only those of similar alignment to the horn blower gain the bonus and if they leave the area of effect they lose the bonus right away instead of after 10 minutes.

Most horns are made from a ram's curved horn and carved with dwarven runes and scenes of battle. Dwarves covet these and may seek to buy one off a non-dwarf at any price. If they happen to be a not so honorable dwarf they may seek to steal them.
