The best helmet in Icewind Dale 1 is the Helm of the Trusted Defender (HELMDEF), which can be purchased from Conlan in Kuldahar IWD as early as Chapter 1.
The helm's raw AC (a non-trivial 3-point bonus) is so good that we will choose to have our Fighter be of gnome race just to be able to wear it (say, a Gnome Fighter/Thief or Fighter/Illusionist). Halflings are not as attractive due to their Strength penalty.
The icon for HotTD is simply a recolored Helm of Balduran icon. A cute but ultimately useless fact for the reader to ponder.
- Armor Class IWD Bonus: 3
- Special: User is immune to Sleep and never suffers from Fatigue
- Weight: 2
- Not Usable By: Mage, Bard, Thief
- Only Usable By: Halflings, Gnomes
This helmet was worn for four hundred years by halflings and gnomes in the small and virtually unknown community called Shepherd's Valley. Each dawn, the Night Watch captain would hand the helmet over the Day Watch captain. Each dusk, the Day Watch captain returned the helm. This cycle continued without fail until Pheldon Tock, a Night Watch captain, decided to trade in the helm for another. The helmet probably would have remained in Gibling Armstrong's Curious Armor Shoppe for quite some time if a bored dwarf hadn't bought it and set it on his mantle in distant lands.
