Helmets

I was thinking that perhaps we need a rule for helmets.  Right now they just give a fifty percent chance of providing armor protection against head shots.  However, only really good shots do head shots.  It hardly seems worth the the weight.

However, during this period time, a steel helmet was the only armor that soldiers wore.  The did it because it prevented lots of deaths from artillery shell bursts.

Maybe we should say that a helmet gives protection against Area of Effect attacks.  That might make them worth considering.

Balancing the Team

My player character has an advance coming next game, and I'm debating where to spend it. I'm considering dropping it on making Maria a crack driver, but it occurs to me that we rely on Maria mostly for her questioning and persuasion skills which could use a boost. What are you guys planning on taking?
