A '''barding''' is a special type of armour designed to cover the lower half of [[centaur]]s and [[naga]]s. It fills the feet slot in place of [[boots]], which centaurs and nagas cannot wear. Similar to [[body armour]], it offers significantly more AC than ordinary boots, but unlike body armour, it does not offer any [[GDR]]. Bardings impact the wearer's EV slightly, reducing it by 2. However, unlike a body armour's encumbrance, it does not affect spellcasting, [[stealth]], [[unarmed combat]] speed, or melee accuracy.

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:
