    [​IMG] What's with the helmets? They don't protect from critical hits, well not on my computer anyway. Are they just for show or what?

    The armor values given in 3e games assume you have an appropriate helmet. So in IWD2, helms are just another optional equipment slot. Technically, you should be worse off for not having a helmet in 3e, rather than better off for having one.

    It was for this reason that I decided that I would not keep any helmets except the very few magical ones.

    I was quite surprised that helmets didn't do anything and well it's a good thing too because i got a graphics glitch with helmets so no helmets for me.

    the usefullness of the healmets is not the case in my opinion.It's the designs.You look like some half-assed fool trying to beat someone.
