Daemons, etc, can't wear a helmet (so they can lose up to several AR when wearing higher level stuff). Vamps have the blood bottle which can be a pain (I also think they shouldnt be allowed to wear helmets so the shroud doesnt look all glitched out and stuff).
Basically, I dont think you should be able to obtain a visual RP item (something other than like, newbied books or white gangsta shoes, hah). Anything where you get a skin or appearance-altering item (mask, gloves, etc), should be received at a cost.
Thats debatable I think. On one hand it would keep it to the people who truly want to rp but on the other hand it will handicap people just because they enjoy to rp. Though us daemons don't wear helms we could... I just don't allow this because it wouldn't make sense.
With that said it should be on the people rping to follow their own guidelines on how or what their characters can do or wear. I could slap on a helm and act like it is custom made for me... but what human would make me such a helm. Now if I was a blacksmithy master I could craft such a helmet and be able to wear it.
Chances are though you will never see me with a helmet on regardless. My point is I make the choice to give myself a small handicap to fit my rp but it should be my choice only and my responsibility to follow the rp. If I was to wear helmets at one point it would most likely call for me gming blacksmith and writing a story on how I mastered the art and found a way to craft helms to fit over my horns.
