It's your choice whether the Black Knight's barding's[1] excellent AC and useful resistances are worth the speed reduction. For palentongas, they might well be -- they can still roll at normal speed, their aptitudes and abilities lend well to fighting in the thick of things, and the Black Knight's barding provides enough physical defense to make the close-quarters fighting all the easier. Aim to find solutions to mitigate your suddenly slower-than-average movement speed; Swiftness will still let you move faster than average for a time, and blinking remains unaffected. Alternatively, an amulet of the acrobat can give you evasion enough to reposition yourself more safely.
Nagas already have innate poison resistance, but they're also already slower than average, so their strategy won't be impacted as heavily.
This armour is considered evil and will offend the good gods if you wear it.
