==COVENANT ITEM PROPERTIES==

:* '''3rd Level:''' The wearer gains a mastery of tactical maneuvers over brute force. Once per day, he gains a +2 bonus on his next attack roll or ability check made to bull rush, disarm, overrun, sunder or trip. The helm also grants a +5 morale bonus on saving throws against Fear effects. Whenever the wearer successfully saves against a Fear effect, he receives the benefits of a '''heroism''' spell for 3 rounds. If he is immune to fear, he automatically gains this benefit when subjected to a Fear effect from any enemy.

:* '''6th Level:''' The wearer's once-per-day bonus to an attack roll or ability check made to bull rush, disarm, overrun, sunder or trip increases to +4. The morale bonus to saves against Fear effects increases to +8. 

:* '''8th Level:''' The wearer's bonus to his next attack roll or ability check made to bull rush, disarm, overrun, sunder or trip increases to +6. The morale bonus to saves against Fear effects increases to +10. If the wearer successfully saves against a Fear effect, he now receives the benefits of a '''greater heroism''' spell for 3 rounds. If he is immune to fear, he automatically gains this benefit when subjected to a Fear effect from any enemy.

:* '''12th Level:''' The wearer cannot be bull rushed, overrun, tripped or knocked prone. The wearer's bonus to his next attack roll or ability check made to bull rush, disarm, overrun, sunder or trip increases to +8.

:* '''14th Level:''' Once per day per character level, the wearer can call on his ancestors to aid or fight with him, similar to the spell ''summon ancestral hero. (Honor and Shadow, pp. 62.)'' This effect summons ancestors based on the race and background of the wearer, as detailed elsewhere.

:* '''15th Level:''' The wearer's ability to ''summon ancestral hero'' increases to twice per day per level.
