Dragon scale mails and dragon scales
Dragon scale mails are changed from NetHack. They are heavier and incur a spell casting penalty, except for white dragon scale mails that are conductive of magic and incur no such penalty. Thus, except for the white variant, dragon scale mails are not a very good choice for a wizard. Dragon scale mails cannot be mythic or legendary.
- Black dragon scale mail
- Blue dragon scale mail
- Gray dragon scale mail
- Green dragon scale mail
- Orange dragon scale mail
- Red dragon scale mail
- Silver dragon scale mail
- White dragon scale mail — No spell casting penalty
- Yellow dragon scale mail
Dragons sometimes drop dragon scales that can be crafted into dragon scale mails. Dragon scales are weaker versions of dragon scales mails, improving AC only by 3 and yielding merely one (usually the weakest) of the powers conferred by the corresponding dragon scale mail.
- Black dragon scales — No death resistance
- Blue dragon scales
- Gray dragon scales — No magic resistance
- Green dragon scales
- Orange dragon scales — No free action
- Red dragon scales
- Silver dragon scales — No reflection
- White dragon scales — No spell casting penalty
