Armour made for the scaly midsections of nagas and armataurs.

A barding is a special type of armour designed to cover the lower half of nagas and armataurs. It fills the feet slot in place of boots, which these species cannot wear. It offers significantly more AC than ordinary boots, and it isn't penalized by the wearer's Deformed mutation.

IN exchange, bardings give a flat penalty of -2 EV. This cannot be reduced by strength or Armour skill. This will not penalize spellcasting, stealth, etc.

Bardings can be maximally enchanted to +4 using scrolls of enchant armour.

Bardings can carry the following egos:

Artefact bardings can also spawn with these egos:
