Contents
Generation
The Sokoban prize armor has a 1⁄2 to be a helm of speed.
Player monster centaurs and giants generated at level 20 will have a helm of speed, and two different kits for other level 20 player monsters include a helm of speed.
Description
When worn, the helm of speed grants 1 base AC and very fast speed.
Strategy
The helm is designed to provide a source of speed for player centaurs and tortles, who cannot wear boots of any kind. Tortles have the additional trade-off of gaining very fast speed in return for more difficulty retreating into their shell via #monster (or the shell technique in Hack'EM). Players of other species can use this helm to free up their boots slot, e.g. for water walking boots; a bone/stone/mithril helm of speed can also be a viable wish.
