- Hmmm. You know, if you had a nice, impressive heraldic-style crest
- on your helm, I bet you could have an ice water container in it. Run a
- straw down thru a hole with a grommet so it doesn't show (rather than
- thru the front grillwork).
-
- It's not the least bit authentic, of course. But there is a great,
- hairy^H^H^H^Hoary precedent for safety and health over authenticity,
- especially in fighting. I know that you could make a good case for it
- being a health issue in much of Ansteorra, Outlands, & Atenveldt.
-
- You could either make the container of lexan or you could just
- take the splash if someone nails you with a good head shot.
