    Good point.  Basically any class could now use the helm, even if they
cross-classed the skill.  Figured even a psion could use a helm, so long as
they have enough skill points to knowledge or use magic device.

    Ah, that.  Mostly to distinguish spelljamming ships from standard ships,
and partially it was a figure of speech.  I hadn't thought about the "slap a
helm to a galleon & take off" aspect of helms.  I really could go either way
with that.
