/hood command and hiding helmets.

personally, i hate the 2 slot armor bits altogether, their helmet components suck.

not to mention i can get more stats out of using the lower level armor and a up to date helm in most cases.

I agree with OP, and this is the reason.

THIS!
why do the hoods have to be built in anyways? traditionally hoods were separate things, why are there no hoods by themselves? why can't i wear a hood with my robe? and for that mater why can't i wear glasses under my hood?
now i get the technical reasons (each body slot corresponds to a part of the model which get's replaced when the item is loaded, the code may well depend on this separations so having one model overlap another body area would cause all sorts of issues.) but i also know that where there's a will, there's a way, and it's not that they CAN'T it's that they don't WANT TO.
