Is it possible to create new tags for armor, or is that hardcoded?

Also, I did test the mask, as I pointed out in my previous post.

So it's impossible for helms to protect the face?

As far as my knowledge goes: Yes.

ARMORLEVEL:3 would make a big difference in terms of protection.  Technically, helms are not "plate" which means attacks can more easily penetrate.  In my experience, plate armor is absurdly difficult to penetrate, so use with caution.  This still wouldn't give you protection on facial features though.  As I understand it, it is possible to get chest armor to cover up facial features, but not the head.

Armorlevel does not do anything for protection. I
