Helmets
The head is a small target and a catastrophic place to lose. A helmet is cheap insurance against an expensive death.
Head protection that guards your most fragile and most important hit location.
Overview
Helmets and masks protect the head — a location that, when badly damaged, knocks a character out or kills them quickly.
Why They Matter
Head hits are dangerous out of proportion to their frequency. A solid helmet converts a potentially fatal head wound into something survivable.
Trade-offs
Heavier helmets protect more but can reduce perception and combat skills slightly. Lighter masks protect less but barely penalise — match the helmet to the build.
Who Should Wear One
Everyone, ideally. Even speed builds benefit from a light helmet or mask. The head is never a location to leave bare.
