A barding is a special type of armour designed to cover the lower half of Armataurs, Nagas, and any character in Sphinx Form (except Felids). These species have a barding slot instead of the default boots slot for many species, 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 to Armataurs and Nagas if you haven't found one yet.
- Okawaru gifts a choice of armour, which is very likely to have a barding available for Armataurs and Nagas.
History
- In 0.35, Armataurs will be replaced with anemocentaurs, which can also wear bardings.
- In 0.33, Sphinx Form was introduced, giving any non-Felid species a use for bardings.
- Prior to 0.30, artefact bardings couldn't spawn with the see invisible or rampaging egos.
- Prior to 0.26, there were two types of barding: centaur barding and naga barding. Each species could only wear one of the two types.
