Your wrong, there are some very nice helmets in the game.
Dragon helm is always nice to have. As well as the helms of charmprotection.
Helm of defence gives you +1 savings that come in handy.
And dont forget Vhailor's Helm with it's Simulacrum ability.
And I havent even mentioned some nice ion stones and ToB items.
I have to agree helmets arent as good as rings/armor etc. But their certainly not worthless, and there are many better helmets then the helm of Balduran. Dont forget that AC isnt everything, when your fighter with -10AC gets charmed you have a big problem. While a simple common helmet can be prevent this.

cast restoration on the simmy, and he is now as good a fighter as original...

The only problem is that it doenst look as cool. I loved a dwarf with the helm of Balduran in BG1.

Item upgrade mod will combine the helm of defense with helm of charm protection. This makes a pretty sweet helmet. Ruad will combine the dragon helm with some other stuff but I haven't done that.

Meh, I usualy don't wear helmets for esthetic purpouses. I'm a :
Is that Sword? Luxury!
Is that a Horse? Sloth!
Is that a Helmet? Vanity!
Kind of guy lol

I like helmets... but which character I give which helmet to generally depends on how well it matches the armour

I think the helmets in SoA are far more exciting than the ones in ToB, though there are decent Ioun stones in ToB.
