helmet rules

Postby Purgatory » Sun Jan 15, 2012 5:12 pm

so i know this has been discussed over what is allowed and what not.. thats not the question. im confused because it says a class 4 weapon striking a armored portion of the head causes no injury.
so do you count 1 pt off for armor.. or is your helmet now indestructible?
can a red "break" it .. but its on the head so i dont see that being with in the rules..
i guess im asking if the helmet is counted liek reg armor with the +1 then no armor if its hit or does it take no damage.

The head is not a legal striking area for any melee weapon, so they can do no damage to a helmet. All projectile weapons (arrows, rocks & javelins) also do no damage to a helmet. Essentially, any part of your head that is covered by a helmet is invunerable. Keep in mind this is only the portions actually covered by the armor. If you have an open face and get shot in the mouth, you're still dead.
