I always used to think that V-shaped piece of metal at the top of Hawke's champion armor was for collecting rain water or making it very hard for Hawke to take a leak or tie his boot straps. It serves absolutely no defensive purpose and looks to actually hinder mobility and perception, bad armor design! But now I have a practical use for it!
That made my day. Finally! An explanation for that rassafrackinconsarnit thingie. I can finally sleep at night again, no more tossing and turning trying to figure that silly piece of metal.
Its something seen more in jousting armour. it does have a very practical purpose in that case as getting the lance jammed under the helmet could be fatal.
It's a bit over the top, but it is based on real armour design (and even in use today).
