These plain looking heraldry tabard takes on the appearance desired by all their bearers (if there is disagreement between the bearers, the highest of opposed Wisdom checks imposes a form on all the badges for 1 week). The tabards change size, shape, design and coloring. On the inside of the tabard is inscribed an oath in Common: "I am a sworn companion; I swear to shed my life blood for my fellows."

The item will not function unless all bearers take the sworn oath. If a companion who is wearing a tabard is disabled, or dying, any other bearer in sight of the wounded comrade can use a lesser transfer wounds spell (caster level equal to bearers character level) once per encounter as a immediate action. Note that only one transfer lesser wounds per set of vestments can be cast per encounter, not one per vestment.

Prerequisites: Craft Constant Item, Quicken Spell, (lesser transfer wounds)
Cost to Create: 280 gp (22 xp)
