+Storm dragon scales offer the same protection as [[plate armour]], with slightly lower encumbrance. However, since they are usually found late in the game, they are in a tight position:
 *Plate armour has slightly more encumbrance, and no rElec, but it's much more common: you can find and [[enchant]] one earlier. Also, you're more likely to find an [[artefact]] plate armour.
-*For heavy armour characters, [[golden dragon scales]] can be found around the same time, which gives more AC and has 3 resistances instead of one.

+*Casters and [[ranged weapon]] users will usually want a lighter set of dragon scales for their lower encumbrance.
 However, electricity resistance is moderately rare. For those who cannot get rElec easily, and can afford the encumbrance, a set of storm dragon scales can be a strong option. Having rElec is most useful in areas like [[Zot]], where electric damage is commonplace.
