This ornate platinum badge is set with two large cabochon aquamarines.

When you activate a badge of glory, the next melee attack you make on the same turn against an evil creature deals an extra 1 point of damage per two character levels. A badge of glory functions two times per day.
If you have the smite evil class feature, the extra damage granted by a badge of glory is instead equal to that granted by your smite evil ability (or 1 point per two levels, whichever is greater).

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, ability to smite evil, possession of a piece of the set.
Cost to Create: 1,500 gp (plus 400 gp for base item), 120 XP, 3 days.
