-Chain mail can be a decent option for heavy melee brutes - at least in the early game. Early on, chain mail can provide more overall defense than a [[plate armour]]. But as you gain more strength and/or [[Armour skill]], the plate armour will likely come out ahead. [[Dodge]]rs and casters will likely find this armour too [[Encumbrance rating|heavy]] to bother with.
+Chain mail can be a decent option for heavy melee brutes - at least in the early game. Early on, chain mail can provide more overall defense than a [[plate armour]], and it's more common than plate.

 In general, it's not worth wearing in the long run, unless you get an awesome randart.
