This golden helm covers three-quarters of the face and sports a large, purple feather.

Symbolic of honor and justice, the purple plume marks a warrior of particular valor and conspicuous honor. While wearing a helm of the purple plume, you have a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma if you are lawful good, neutral good, or lawful neutral.

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, you also gain a +5 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects while you wear the helm. Not only are you more resistant to fear, but exposure to fear actually emboldens you. Whenever you successfully save against a fear effect, you receive the benefit of a heroism spell for 10 rounds. If you have immunity to fear, you automatically gain this benefit whenever you are subjected to a fear effect from an enemy.
To use the relic power, you must worship Heironeous and either sacrifice a 4th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 7 HD.

Lore: The original helms of the purple plume were given as trophies to the winners of jousting tournaments held by followers of Heironeous. Since then, they have passed from noble knight to brave squire throughout the centuries (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
