So this rule basically won't change much for most groups, perception wise while still making the frontliner much stronger (especially at lower levels). I personally would never get rid of my helmet and trust the rest of the group on perception checks. | |

Most of the time you will at least have a torch, a free hand, a second weapon/item you want to wield, etc. So even if your helm is in your hand and you can put it on as free interaction, then you need to use your action to draw your sword or whatever. | |
