Usage
These scrolls can affect any kind of armour, be it hats or helmets, gloves, cloaks, boots, shields, or body armour.
The enchantment can't be increased once maximum enchant level (see below) is reached or if the item is an artefact.
| Maximum Enchantment Levels | |
|---|---|
| Body armour | +(Armour's base AC) |
| Barding | +4 |
| Shields | +3 for Bucklers, +5 for Shields, +8 for Large shields |
| All other armour | +2 |
Scrolls of enchant armour can be used to turn a dragon or troll hide into its corresponding armour. This won't increase the transformed armour's enchantment, it will start from 0. These armours have additional benefits whose usefulness can vary depending on your type of character.
