Because of its association with uncommon valor and amazing healing power, a tabard of the great crusade is a welcome sight at any scene of armed conflict. When you wear one of these garments over armor, you and every ally within 20 feet gains a +1 morale bonus on saving throws, provided that you are lawful neutral, lawful good, lawful evil, or neutral. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
Relic Power:
If you have established the proper divine connection, a tabard of the great crusade also provides you with damage reduction 5/evil. Furthermore, any ally other than you who grasps the hem of the tabard (a move [manipulation] action) can gain the benefit of a heal spell. This ability functions once per day.
To use the relic power, you must worship St. Cuthbert and either sacrifice an 8th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 15 HD.
Lore:
(Knowledge [religion] DC 20): Only seven of these tabards are known to exist. Originally made for an elite cadre of warrior-healers, they have since been passed down from one battlefield cleric to another.
