As my first post on the Lounge, I would like to suggest that an important function of the standard bearer should be to officially "Claim this Treasure in the Name of the Holy Roman Empire". (A phrase that should, perhaps, be repeated in-game whenever anything really good is found. :) )
As such, the standard bearer should be equipped entirely with magic/gold find equipment--within the equipment constraints already spelled out, of course--and should be the only character allowed to open chests, barrells, hidden stashes, etc.
Also, it must also be recognized that the standard bearer is not a packmule, and as such will not be taking any of the treasure back to town himself; that job should be left to those of lesser position. (Besides, his inventory is going to be full of nothing but +MF and +Gold charms anyway. :) )
