Desirability
Scale mail is a medium-weight form of body armour, offering moderate defense, in exchange for a significant penalty to evasion and spellcasting success rates. Early on, high-strength characters may be grateful to find a suit of scale mail on the first few floors. With strength in the upper teens, many low-level spells should be castable.
However, the stats of a scale mail aren't terribly impressive. Most characters will prefer going lighter or heavier. Still, if found with a solid enchantment rating and ego, or in the form of an excellent randart, scale mail might be worth using for a while.
A plain scale mail is completely outclassed by a set of acid dragon scales.
