Moon troll leather armour

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A suit of armour rumoured to have been created by enchanting the hide of a now-extinct species of troll. Whether the name rings true or is merely appropriated to add mystique is something of a mystery. The armour's innate powers of regeneration and magical protection, however, are hard to dispute.

Regen++ (+1.6 HP/turn)

Desirability

The moon troll leather armour is a major upgrade over standard troll leather armour, with double the HP regeneration and spirit shield. As a light armour, it's a great option for EV-based fighters. Casters should be a little weary of spirit shield, which can drain MP at the wrong moment.

Much like other wearable sources of regeneration, the moon troll leather armour requires attunement at full HP to begin functioning. Inhibited Regeneration prevents Regen++ from working if monsters are visible.

If you ever discover Lehudib's Moon Base, you are guaranteed to find the moon troll leather armour on the moon troll itself, unless it has already generated elsewhere.

History

• Prior to 0.31, this armour only had +4 enchantment, but had 4 base AC.
• Prior to 0.28, this armour provided a total of +2.0 HP/turn.
• Prior to 0.27, this armour provided a total of +0.8 HP/turn.

• In 0.17, Lehudib's Moon Base was introduced, finally allowing players to encounter the fearsome moon troll.
• Prior to 0.17, player Trolls didn't get a regeneration bonus for wearing troll leather armour, so they received only +40 out of +80 regeneration bonus from this unrandart armour.

• Moon troll leather armour was added in 0.13.
