1. Closed helm featuring faceplate shaped as grotesque caricature of cherubic infant face, enchanted to emit piercing wails that disrupt enemies as confusion spell
2. Black steel skull cap w/ bat ears, grants wearer echolocation sense at will

4. Scorpion-shaped helm w/animated stinger that fires 3 unerring magic missiles daily
5. Steel cap of occular enhancement: array of monocles mounted on multiple swivel arms provide variety of optical lenses (telescopic, microscopic, night vision, see invisible, etc.)
6. Turtle shell helm of cowardice: enchantment allows user to disappear into the confines of extra-dimensional shell, protected as globe of invulnerability
7. Architect's helm: obelisk-shaped, grants ability to intuit layout of structures, sense thickness of walls, inclines/declines, enhances secret door detection, etc.
8. Helm of Mastery: steel eyeball encloses head, projects mind-control rays from hypno-wheel iris
9. Truth helm: shaped as Devo energy dome, wearer automatically detects lies/deception/sees through obfuscation
10. Invisible helm: separated from ancient hero's suit of invisible plate, gives appearance of headlessness

12. Live armadillo-like creature clings tenaciously to head, gives tactical advice, provides encouragement, sacrifices self to protect wearer from otherwise deadly blow
Number one reminds me of Brazil.
ReplyDeleteWhile wearing the Truth Helm, I would like a +1 to all attacks with my whip, as well as a bonus when trying to give the past the slip.
ReplyDeleteI would be inclined to grant these entirely reasonable requests.
Delete#2 Would you wear this to take on a Floating Eye of Death? Or perhaps a cat with two heads?
ReplyDelete#9 On a 1% chance each day worn, wearer begins to devolve, losing 1 pt from charisma, wisdom, and intelligence until they reach 3 in each stat, at which point they become a brain eating ape.
Regarding #9, again, these extrapolations are wholly plausible.
DeleteThe print version of this thing just keeps growing. :-p
ReplyDeleteI have been building a Word document of all the tables, in case this site ever disappears, because I would hate to be without this material.
