A helm of protection gives advantage on wisdom saves. Also know as the Helm of Awe.
This is a deer skull helmet engraved with the Ægishjálmr symbol.
It protects the wearers mind. The protection that the Helm of Awe invokes isn’t just physical in nature. It’s also a sign of dominance in conflict, and more than that, it represents the ability to cause fear in others and suppress the fear of one’s own mind. For the ultimate protection, the Norse (particularly women) would draw this symbol between their eyes on their forehead. And of course, to make things even more metal, the Helm of Awe worked best when it was inscribed with either blood or spit. They were also popularly drawn on the inside of helmets so that they would rest between the eyes. The anime Fullmetal Alchemist draws inspiration from this.
Notes: Bonus: Wisdom Saving Throws
