Effects On Vision and Hearing

Helms and helmets restrict vision and hearing. They frame the face, obscure his vision, muffle his hearing, and generally give the character less ability to observe what's going on around him. (They also sometimes keep maces from caving in his skull, which is why fighters like helms and helmets.)

With these optional rules, we'll talk about different kinds of helms and helmets, how they're used, and what other effects they have in combat.
