Weight: 2 lbs.

Family: Honcho Helmet

A honcho helmet is an impressive thing, often featuring a brightly-colored plumed crest that runs from the front to the back of the helmet, creating the impression of a tall mohawk-like ridge. The crest is fashioned from the hairs of dire bears, and is then dyed a bright color, often red, blue, yellow, or green. The helmet itself is steel with a bladesilver veneer, and is then filigreed with ambergold and actual gold. The filigree looks like decorative scrollwork at first glance, but closer inspection reveals small animals and spirits inhabiting a stylized woodland setting. The helmet is heavy (heavy hangs the head that wears the... ) but allows decent sight-lines, not inhibiting the wearer's perception in any way.

Honcho helmets are favored by druids, rangers, and many spell casters. Among civilians they are not popular at all, since outside of combat, the helmet provides little advantage other than its eye-catching appearance.

Up to five times per day, the wearer of a honcho helmet can grant a bonus move action to one summoned monster, animal companion, or familiar that they control, as a free action during the wearer's turn. The bonus move action can be combined with the standard action that the summoned monster, animal companion, or familiar gets each round automatically, in order to allow that creature to perform a full attack action, if desired. The honcho helmet can only be activated once per round.

The honcho helmet cannot be used on any summoned monster you did not summon, or any animal companion or familiar other than your own. Only creatures you control yourself can be affected by the helmet. Note that monsters that you summon via a magic item (such as with a Lesser Jailer's Rod) count as being summoned by you.

The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
