Armour made from the scales of a steam-breathing dragon. Although, unlike the armour made from the scales of some larger dragons, it does not provide its wearer with much protection, it is extremely light and as supple as cloth.

Steam dragon armour is the lightest of the dragon armours, having an encumbrance rating of 0 (the same as a robe. Although rare, you can make a suit of this armour by using a scroll of enchant armour on a steam dragon hide.

Desirability

It does give more AC than a robe, but usually, an armour such as a mottled dragon armour, troll leather armour, or if you can handle the spellcasting and EV hit, a fire dragon armour will be better. Steam resistance is virtually useless, and 5 base AC is not particularly impressive.

Steam dragon armour's AC was raised in version 0.10 from 4 to 5.
