Body armor - hyvanmielenpelit/GnollHack GitHub Wiki

Ordinary body armor

All ordinary body armor can be mythic and legendary.

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.

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.

Mithril-coats

Mithril-coats can be mythic or legendary.

Armor Quality

Ordinary body armor and mithril-coats can be exceptional, elite, or celestial/primordial/infernal.

  • Exceptional: -4 AC, +1 MC
  • Elite: -8 AC, +2 MC
  • Celestial/Primordial/Infernal: -12 AC, +4 MC, but can be used only by lawful/neutral/chaotic beings.

Ancient dragons can drop exceptional dragon scales, and unique dragons elite dragon scales.
