### 308

Despite its size, the Helmet feels light and comfortable. Mark it on your Action Chart as a Special Item.21 If worn during combat, it will increase your COMBAT SKILL by 2 points. The lid of the chest slowly closes and you leave the chamber, elated by your magnificent discovery. You continue along the corridor and explore the staircase ahead.

[21] Mark this Special Item as a Silver Helm. If you are already wearing another Helmet, you must discard it if you wish to keep this new find. The text is somewhat ambiguous on this matter, but it is likely that the COMBAT SKILL bonus is magical in nature, and not the result of any physically protective value it might have (which may very well be nil).
