Can a BSB take magic items other than a magic standard? I could almost swear that in both 6th and 7th edition rule books it says specifically "may take no other magic items" if a hero is your BSB but I see a lot of lists where folks have some on their BSB. I have been playing where you can't take magic items but a BSB would be much more appealing if they could. thanks
But if you have a Slann carrying the BSB then he CAN take both a magic banner and other magic items. It is simply because he is just to cool for school.
