Why would a skeleton prioritize head cover? Isn't the whole point of a helmet to protect the head which, on a living creature, is relatively fragile and weak to direct hits due to the whole notion of it housing organical key parts like brain, blood, eyes etc.?
I mean, don't get me wrong here, I'm sure that it helps this guy out somewhat with durability and stuff. My reasoning is just such that - if I were a skeleton - I would most certainly prioritize an all-around useful pointier weapon over situationally useful headwear. The statistics clearly states that skeletons in general are fighting organical creatures more often than other undead, and as such invesing in the perfect weapon or an extra lance rather than some showoff headwear would boost the effectiveness of the boner by a great deal.
One could argue that the skeleton, lacking a brain as it happens, would pick suboptimally when at the weapon store due to out right incompetence. However, one should also take into consideration that the skeleton by its very nature is a vassal serving under a more powerful and intelligent being, possibly a necromancer or simular. This master, regularly performing complex summoning rituals and such, must of course be more than capable of aiding the skeleton in the important task of spending its savings when at the weapons store in an optimal and rational way for killing the intended enemy. Taking todays tough market into consideration as well, spending wisely should naturally be of relatively high priority.
My point here is that it is beyond me how the presented skeleton have ended up with a half-assed sword, no secondary weapon and not even a shield, while at the same time it is wearing a class 4, high-quality footman helmet for head protection.
In other words: Me likes this model overall.
Not knows about helemt though. :/
