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 ==
 
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.

A psychic foil helmet reduces a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 90%. This means it has an modifies the effect of certain [[psycasts]], [[Events#Psychic Drone|psychic drone]]s, and artifacts such as  [[psychic shock lance]]s and [[psychic insanity lance]]s.  
 
 
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.

It's a niche item primarily useful to reduce the mood impact of psychic drones, especially on your [[Traits#Psychic Sensitivity|psychically sensitive]] colonists, but can also have some worth protecting pawns from psycasts, especially in a melee where friendly fire is possible. Note that when worn by psychically dull pawns, it will make them completely immune to the most psychic effects, just as a psychically deaf pawn would be.  
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - added.

* At some point post A14 - texture updated.

They can appear on some [[raiders]], which can make those pawns likely to resist the psycasts, shock lances and psychic insanity lances integral to some strategies. It is thus important to check a pawns gear before attempting such tactics.
* At some point (1.1?), the armor rating was increased from Sharp/Blunt/Heat of 5/5/0 to 9/9/27 and the HP was doubled
