The '''psychic foil helmet''' is a piece of headgear that decreases the [[psychic sensitivity]] of the wearer, and is primarily useful for protecting an individual pawn against psychic phenomena.

== Summary ==
+
This item cannot be crafted but only purchased through trade. Should your Colonist become affected by a [[Events#Psychic Drone|psychic drone]], an alternative to reduce mood pain is to craft a [[military helmet]] which provides a an offset when equipped of [[psychic sensitivity]] -10%.
A psychic foil helmet reduces a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 90%, regardless of [[quality]]. This means it dampens the effect of [[Events#Psychic Drone|psychic drone]]s, as well as certain [[psycasts]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} and psycasting ability. If a pawn is already [[psychically dull]], then this will make them completely immune to all psychic effects, which also include [[psychic shock lance]]s and [[psychic insanity lance]]s.
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
The psychic foil helmet is a niche item primarily useful to reduce the mood impact of psychic drones, especially on your [[psychically sensitive]] colonists. However, it will also reduce positive psychic effects, such as from the [[psychic emanator]]. They also have some worth in protecting pawns from your own [[psycasts]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} especially in a melee, where friendly fire is possible.
 
 
 
Despite being called a helmet, its protection is comparable to a [[bowler hat]] made of weak materials. It only blocks minimal damage and, with its low HP, wouldn't last very long either. Quality does not affect its psychic protection, so an Awful foil helmet blocks psychic effects just as well as a Legendary foil helmet.
 
 
 
They can appear on some [[raiders]], which will make them resistant to psycasts, and if combined with the psychically dull trait, the psychic lances. It is thus important to check a target's gear before attempting such tactics.
