Fighter Helmet
This item is as old as myself on the server, and I always found its stats a bit odd.
I will straight up confess that I am not the most mechanically minded, and sometimes too many numbers and minuses and pluses will have my head rocking back and forth like a two month old toddler.
That being said, the Fighter Helmet currently gives:
+1 AC
+1 constitution
+ something search
+ something listen
In my head and limited thought capability, for a fighter, would not a helmet be more useful if it was something like
+1 AC
+1 constitution
+ something discipline
+ something heal ( ? )
The old helmet could just be renamed something like a Helmet of the Sentinel, as it fits more, themewise, with what its stats. Perhaps even replace constitution with some other stat or feat.
Just a thought.

Re: Fighter Helmet
The helmet makes sense to me, as the search allows you to find possible traps, and listen helps you to spot enemies before you engage them.
Constitution = added hit points
And AC... well that goes without saying.
The helmet you were thinking would be more for a priest, for the heal aspect at least.
Discipline would make sense.

Re: Fighter Helmet
Never liked that helmet. The recipe is alright but the properties are often just less useful than a basin helmet with +1 ac and +1 str in those levels. I suggest replacing constitution with str and replacing listen with discipline. This much discipline also makes it a nich end-game item for some builds and it would give the item some usefulness all across the board. That +1 ac in there prevents any serious game-breaking uses.

Re: Fighter Helmet
the tiny amount of listen and search added don't actually help anyone without skill investment. thematically, maybe, but it's ultimately pointless. a "priest" would make use of wisdom.Straxus wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 11:14 pmThe helmet makes sense to me, as the search allows you to find possible traps, and listen helps you to spot enemies before you engage them.

heal/disc is actually useful for for a fighter hat
