Masks, Hoods, Helms and Helmets

>>52040919
My character WAS a mask at one point.

Tiefling lock wears a mask in an attempt to hide her identity, tails are hard to hide though.

What if everybody in the setting wears masks and knows each other only by voice? Except for the the rare occasions when they confide in someone and remove their protective suit?

Full head prosthetic, with added armour and with a helmet on top of that.

>>52040919

Why bother?

If you take a full blow from a hammer to your face it's gonna hurt like hell, regardless if you have some plate blocking it on your face or not.

And out of combat. He's a bit paranoid.

>>52041223
The character, possessing an enormous amount of mass, would certainly not.

Or setting where 'home base' is safe to be unmasked, but is otherwise hazardous.

Head got punched so hard the brains exploded everywhere, but were scooped up and put in a new skull which was attached to the body and armoured as well as both head and body recieving a bunch of cybernetics.

depends on the theme/rational of the character,
but largely yes, helmets are good at keeping your brains inside your skull.

The real question is which Helmet is best Helmet and why is it a late German style sallet

>>52040919
My current one have a hat and high collar to protect his identity. Not much physical protection is needed as he already can take a shotgun to the face and walk out with few scratches.

Run away with the mask.

>>52040919

By being 20 feet behind it, shooting the shit out of things with his repeater crossbow.

>>52042576

Correct answer is "seal that bitch into her armor so you never need to see her disgusting meat again"

Not a character, but I have priestesses of beauty in my campaign setting who take off their faces for battle to avoid damaging them. (They can still see by magic means)

They magically take their faces off as if they were masks. This way, they can avoid any nasty scars that would ruin their beauty. And this comes in really handy, because they like to embark on crusades against ugly things.

Don't need a helmet when you're a 7ft tall Injun built like dwayne johnson and also in a gunslinger setting so helmets aren't gonna do you any good anyway

Yes, but his giant frilly landsknecht hat covers his helmet so nobody would know.

Perhaps it's considered an enormous amount of mass for people of small stature such as yourself, but I regard it as quite normal.

>>52051070
I want to strain so much pasta in that helmet

Helmets aren't ideal for adventurers. They're made for the crowded battlefield where you're surrounded by dozens of enemies at any given point. A sword could come from any direction, at any time.

Compare with adventurers whose typical encounter is 6-8 enemies. Since it's realistic for him to keep abreast of his enemies, peripheral vision and agility is more important than thick plates over your face.

You know what? I kind of like the sound of that.

Really throws a curveball at all those players who use CHR as their dump stat.

>Characters go to brothel
>All end up with perfect ultra sexy bedroom companions for the night
>All characters over 5/10 in looks get awesome sex, get to 'enter their own magical realm'.
>All characters under 6/10 in looks get right up to the point of sex, only for their new friend to remove their face and pull out a very ornate and nice-looking razor

>>52040919
Only if they're low level "hunters" that kill rabid wolves, or mercs that deal with other humans. Anyone dealing with monsters may as well do it naked because armor is only dead weight against the supernatural.

>>52042542
I really like the mask on this one.

I played a CE halfing rouge named fleshstick. Modeled aft a Midget Psycho, he wore a mask.

After some minor adventures in Generica, the party pissed off a god and god sent into the world of majoras mask (the gm like doing odd things like thing).

As we all know, masks hold power in Zelda, mine was no different. as the only Player that had played Major's Mask, i had to resist the meta.

That was until we song of healing'd my mask off and found out it was just my fat ass behind the mask. Hilarity ensued.

Final list of achievements for Fleshstick, Villain of Time, Right Venerable Bastard and Midboss;
>Addicted to cocaine
>several copies of the master sword, all strapped to a 'choping' machine, obtained via libberal aplication of mudering link
>a pet Zora
>My own dungeon and boss monster
>Managed to convince the ward to permanently remove tingle from he universe (we sent him to hell)
>fucked Alice (In wonderland fame)

Now i'm playing a Paladin of Baa-Huamut. His helmet has ram horns, he salutes by making fists in the shape of ram horns and putting them on his head, and he only takes it off when he has to, or the not-pope is in the room.

I have a lot of fun with my Characters.

>Armored merchant leprechauns might be an interesting culture. Think of anything else we could add to it?

They make armors for every person of any size and persuasion. Their goal is to see everyone wear armor of their making, from princess to warrior.

>>52043736
Is that a Lovecraft name?

>>52060378
Abdul Alhazred is the lovecraft one, right? I don't know how to pronounce oil runes though, so that filename might be the same thing

My party has its own merc group. Helmets, Goggles, Balaclavas, Kefeyehs, hats, actual suits of power armor complete with closed systems, hazard suits, gas masks, etc all in use.

>>52043736
Praise Yog-Sothoth, brother.
>>52060378
Yes. Lovecraft rendered it Abdul Alhazred, but that's not really proper Arabic from what I understand. Al-Azrad is what Call of Cthulhu went with, translating it as "Servant of the Devourer". Wikipedia says Arabic translations of Lovecraft usually call him "Abdullah alha Zred" which could be translated as "Servant of the Forbidden One/Great One/One who Is Closed Off". Which is pretty cool.

This isn't how they act. Let's say information reaches them that some local king built a supremely tacky castle in the middle of his beautiful old capital. These priestesses gather an army and besiege the kingdom to demolish this affront to beauty.

I've a character who's essentially a cyborg from a race of cyborgs who wears a visor to hide his face, which is essentially just skin now. If he raises his visor, all people can see is a face permanently contorted into a smug grin akin to pic related.
