This is a fine blue linen surcoat, with gold and white trim and a golden dragon rampant emblazoned on the chest.
If you are a knight, a surcoat of valor grants you various benefits associated with your challenge ability. You can increase the save DC of your knight’s challenge by 1.
If you also wear a magic item that provides a bonus on Will saves (or on all saves), the duration of your knight’s challenge increases by 1 round.
Despite the described appearance, a surcoat automatically changes its colors and image to match your official symbol or heraldry.
