| The scales of a gold dragon. It is much heavier than most dragon scale armours, and grants its wearer resistance to poison, fire and cold. |
Gold dragon scales is one of the heaviest body armours in the game, providing excellent physical defense as well as resistance to fire, cold, and poison. Unfortunately, it requires very high strength to wear effectively, and its encumbrance rating is massive enough to make magic very difficult and the Dodging skill much less effective. It may be obtain from slaying a golden dragon or, very rarely, may appear as the result of an armour acquirement.
Desirability
Although three guaranteed resistances and excellent AC and GDR may sound tempting, realize that few species can naturally have enough strength to wear it comfortably, and that ruining your evasion and spellcasting often isn't worth the tradeoff. These armours are more useful to trolls and ogres because they have difficulty finding resistances elsewhere and their evasion score is already heavily penalized. Others can often find better performance elsewhere, though high-strength races such as hill orcs and minotaurs might still consider it. Consider yourself warned.
