Guardian's Helm

The Guardian's Helm combines protective equipment with a precisely defined magical increase to physical defense. It may be part of a veteran's equipment or a reward from a fortress the party helped. Scratches and the former wearer's emblem can tell of past encounters, but grant the helmet neither unlisted immunity nor the ability to decide for its owner.

It is useful for a character who meets the strength requirement and wants to increase physical defense. In the calculation, distinguish a direct additional bonus from base values modified by a coefficient. Its protection does not guarantee that every attack misses, and does not itself increase magical defense. The hero still needs a suitable approach and the party's cooperation.

It uses the "Head" slot and the base item is a "helmet". The listed bonus is +1 PDEF. This is a direct additional bonus, with no coefficient. Requirement: STR5. Its catalog value is 18 gp. Follow the calculation and conditions of the bonus exactly; its origins in the story alone grant no additional abilities.
