[QUOTE="CombatWombat51, post: 1332169, member: 10473"] Here's a more final version, at least of helmets. [B][U]Helmets[/U][/B] Headgear is a part of a combatants basic protection that protects him against deadly blows. However, not all characters will want to wear a helm because they can impede hearing, vision, and don’t make for a friendly face. A helmet gives a bonus to armor class against critical confirmation rolls. Helmets are classified as light, medium, or heavy, just as with armor, and they require the same feats to be proficient. A character who wears a helm without the appropriate feat suffers double the listed penalties to Listen and Spot checks and only gets half the listed bonus against critical confirmation rolls.
