| Name | Barding |
|---|---|
| Size to wear | Special |
| Armour Class | 4 |
| Encumbrance rating | 0 |
| Maximum Enchantment | +4 |
| Grants | nothing |
| Time to Wear | 5 |
| 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 Armataurs and Nagas. It fills the feet slot in place of boots, which these species cannot wear.
While they give significantly more AC than normal boots, 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.
Egos
Bardings can carry the following egos:
Artefact bardings can also spawn with these egos:
Sources
Bardings are moderately rare items:
- The uniques Nessos and Vashnia always wear bardings.
- A scroll of acquirement is likely to give bardings if you haven't found one yet.
- Okawaru gifts a choice of armour, which is very likely to have a barding available.
History
- Prior to 0.30, artefact bardings couldn't spawn with the see invisible or rampaging egos.
- With the removal of centaurs in 0.26, all bardings were folded into one type of item wearable by both nagas and the new palentonga species.
