View source for Helmengel (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Helmengels are usually assisting others, never fighting alone.  They're not terribly strong or fast, but are fairly durable and can disguise as a normal helmet if they do not move.

'''Glow {{Ex}}:''' A helmengel can glow as a free action up to the brightness of a [[SRD:Torch|torch]].

'''Immunities {{Ex}}:''' Helmengels are immune to critical hits and sneak attacks, exhaustion, fatigue, fear, disease, nausea, paralysis, poison, sickening, and stunning.  They are not immune to mind-affecting effects.

'''Protective Helmet {{Ex}}:''' A helmengel can be worn as a helmet.  In this state it can only take a standard or move action, and it offers its user its armor bonus (+2 armor bonus) which stacks with other armor bonuses.  However, it is denied its [[Dexterity]] if attacked directly.  It is considered an attended object and is not separately struck by area effects when worn.  It is treated as grappled for the purpose of being targeted by attacks.  Non-area effect attacks directed to it are shared with its user as if using ''[[SRD:Shield Other|shield other]]''.  It possesses telepathy with its user when worn.

While being worn as a helmet, the helmengel provides the user with an amount of mental protection.  If the user fails a save against a mind-affecting effect, it targets the helmengel instead.  While it is subject to any charm or compulsion it cannot attack its user treating them as if they were a familiar and vice versa.  They may only protect a user like this 1/day.

'''Spell-Like Abilities {{Sp}}:''' At will- ''[[SRD:Detect Evil|detect evil]]'', ''[[SRD:Invisibility|invisibility]]'' (self only); 1/day- ''[[SRD:Aid|aid]]'', ''[[SRD:Cure Moderate Wounds|cure moderate wounds]]'', ''[[SRD:Remove Fear|remove fear]]''.  The saving throws are [[Charisma]] based.

'''Skills:'''  A helmengel has a +8 racial bonus on Disguise checks to appear as a normal helmet.
