Headwear

Armor equipment generally lowers the chance that you will be hit during melee.  There are several equipment slots that are considered armor in JediMUD:

• Headwear
• Armwear
• Gloves
• Bodywear
• Legwear
• Footwear
• Shields
• About Bodywear
• Waistwear

Which Headwear is Best?

Depending on your role in melee, you'll need to balance the need for lowest AC (armor class) vs. special attributes, like damage, hitroll, or a statistic bonuses.

Tanks, the characters that initiate melee and absorb mob attacks, generally require low AC and damage/hitroll bonuses.

Spell casters will want to wear equipment that boosts their prime statistics, like WIS or INT, in order to increase spell-casting damage.  Balancing statistic bonuses with mana regeneration is important to spell casters for speedy experience running or equipment farming.

The following table can be sorted for your specific needs:
