As silly as this may sound, I know the new helmet weighs 0.2kg more than the old one. Is it possible that that tiny amount kicked your encumbrance up enough to make an issue with combat evasion?
That's the only reason I can think of that you'd do worse with the new helmet.
see post #23.
also...i would think that Zen takes weight / potential encumberance into consideration. the point of making a new helemt and armour (and it being more expensive) ......is for it to work better then the previous one.
additionally....if you read what Zen says....encumberance only makes a difference if it reach 1.0. its true....she swears by it - although the community at large believes otherwise.
