Is there a way when homebrewing an armor item to make it only a piece of the armor set? I'm working on a homebrew for one of my PCs and I wanted it to be only the helmet. I tried to override the weight so that it didn't have the full weight of an entire set of plate but that didn't seem to work.
Technically a set of plate mail includes a helmet. This helmet would be part of a full set but the rest of it is not in the dungeon with the helm at the moment. So I was looking to see if there was a way to make the helmet only without having the full weight of the plate mail so that as the PC finds the rest of the armor and unlocks the rest of the abilities (this is artifact level armor) I can add those pieces on.
No way to tie two items together. You can take the approach used for the Vecna items. There is one item listing for the Hand, one for the Eye, and a third for the Eye and Hand of Vecna together. Probably the easiest is to create the helmet as a wonderous item, then have the full set created separately. When the full set it found, remove the helmet from inventory and equip the full set item.

Helmets aren't armor in D&D 5e - at best they're a Wondrous Item.

Thank you very much. This is supremely helpful.
