His PC's are a company of border guards protecting civilisation from the savage lands. They began the adventure with a cloak brooch, symbol of their company. It was an ordinary brooch, but when they went up a level the magic inside came to life and it became magical.  I imagine it was some kind of +1 neck slot item. I imagine PCat loosely used the treasure parcel guidelines to decide how much treasure should be distributed, but obviously wasn't restricted by it. I imagine all the items were identical, and thus of an identical level. The treasure parcels don't recommend distributing items of the same level (It's usually lvl 6, lvl 5, lvl 4... etc.). But it's no big problem. They are guidelines to help you decide what is too much and what is too little treasure.</blockquote>
