-Troll leather armour is decent for characters who need to stay unencumbered, as it is very light. The regeneration boost is equivalent to an [[amulet of regeneration]], which is quite strong. It is arguably better than the couple of extra AC you'd get from light [[dragon scales]]. In addition to the combat benefit, it lets you recover faster, reducing the chance you find a monster while resting.

The regen is arguably better than the couple of extra AC you'd get from light [[dragon scales]] - in addition to the combat benefit, it lets you recover faster, reducing the chance you find a monster while resting.
 In any case, TLA is a direct upgrade to [[leather armour]], and nearly always better than a [[steam dragon scales]]. [[Oni]], [[Troll]]s, and [[Spriggan]]s who have yet to find dragon scales will at least appreciate something heavier to wear.

Note that each set of dragon scales also provides a resistance, which may be more desirable at a given moment.
