A type of armor worn in the head slot, helms, along with hats & masks, are the best way to make a character stand out as "different".

Below is a table accounting for the resists each form of headgear comes with. With few exceptions, the totals always add up to 15. Armor that is exceptionally crafted will receive a bonus that is further boosted by the crafter's Arms Lore skill. Runic Tools, Imbuing or Runic Re-Forging can be used to make the resistances higher than reachable by crafting, and also to add additional Item Properties, making for a far more powerful armor.

Some helms are "medable", meaning they do not affect the use of the meditation skill when worn. Elven helms can only be worn elves.

Hats offer a total base resistance of 24, are all medable and can furthermore be blessed. On the other hand, only helms can receive bonuses from Runic Tools.

Note that the Helm of Spirituality and Helm of Swiftness are not named objects unless in artifact form. As the un-enhanced versions are unlikely to ever appear in game and only one artifact version of each item exists, the artifact level resistances have been listed. These two items are only included in order to account for all helm varieties.
