A '''helm of drain resistance''' is a type of [[helm]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. The helm of drain resistance has a [[Randomized appearance/dNetHack#Helms|randomized appearance]] when [[unidentified]], and when generated as a band it appears as a '''diadem of drain resistance'''. As a helm its [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] is [[iron]], while as a band its base material is [[Gold (material)|gold]].

==Generation==
Helms of drain resistance make up {{frac|200}} (0.5%) of all armor randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. Used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can also stock helms of drain resistance.

==Description==
While [[worn]], the helm of drain resistance naturally grants [[drain resistance]], 1 base [[AC]] and 1 [[DR]]. Wearing or [[taking off]] a helm of drain resistance takes 1 action.

In band form, the diadem of drain resistance grants half as much AC and DR after adjustments for [[erosion]] and material, but adds a bonus equal to its [[enchantment]] to the hero's [[charisma]].
