According to the Badge of Courage's description, it only gives +1 to hero's [[morale]]. However, it also has a hidden effect, which gives hero's troops immunity to all [[mind spell]]s. This latter power was never documented in the game.

In [[Horn of the Abyss]], the Badge of Courage no longer protects against mind spells. The {{An|Sleepkeeper}} fills this role instead.

{{fanopinion|
It seems that the mind spell immunity might be a bug, a technical error of the game. For example, if the [[Berserk]] spell is cast on a creature stacks of a hero equipped with Badge of Courage, the spell's drum symbol appears but when the spell is cast it does not take effect. This seems more a technical error, than designed property.

Badge of Courage's +1 to morale effect is a solid enhancement, but with the [[mind spell]] immunity the badge becomes almost superior. As can be expected, Badge of Courage is quite useless for Necropolis heroes, as [[undead]] are unaffected by morale as well as mind spells.
