We actually did increase the AC of the various armors when a helmet was worn. We had no idea this wasn't in the rules.<br /><br />This is a great solution to lessen the AC for any metallic armor sans helmet (I wouldn't alter Leather Armor, for instance). I love this idea and will be incorporating it into my games.Raging Owlbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556804177905125874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377543525075660166.post-83832362388121573552014-07-18T00:29:11.230-04:002014-07-18T00:29:11.230-04:00Always wear your helmet to war.Always wear your helmet to war.Darcy Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385198563203931754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377543525075660166.post-28975566445993932062014-07-11T14:18:57.372-04:002014-07-11T14:18:57.372-04:00I recognize three armor slots: body, head and shie...I recognize three armor slots: body, head and shield. Body armor is reduced in AC bonus, and shields are much more valuable. Hats are +1 and +2 AC.
