Scale mail is a medium body armour, providing moderate physical defense coupled with a significant encumbrance rating.
Desirability
Most physical fighters will prefer armour with better GDR or less Dodging penalty, while early casters usually can't afford the spellcasting penalty. Later casters and evasion fighters will either want a robe or a fire dragon armour. Unless you find a very nice randart scale mail, you can probably do better. A berserker who wishes to go for Armour might wear this until they find a heavier piece of body armour.
