The badges start out as heroic items, and they increase in power when the PCs reach a pivotal point in the campaign early in each upper tier. Each such badge functions only in accordance with its wearer's level and tier.
    Heroic Badge: A heroic-tier badge is the equivalent of a 3rd-level magic item.
