Helmets

For the non-magical, ordinary helmets, see Basic Helmets (Icewind Dale).

Helmets are armoured headgear, only usable by Clerics, Druids, Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers (including multiclass characters). Like other headgear, they are equipped on the head item slot.

Helmets protect the wearer from critical hits, turning any such incoming attacks into regular hits. Magical helmets often provide some kind of defensive bonus, such as Armor class, but some have other benefits instead, or as well.

This category needs to be added to all helmets, in addition to the headgear category. All helmets are headgear, but not all headgear are helmets!
