| A magical armour made from the light but strong and flexible scales of a pearl dragon. It provides its wearer with protection from negative energy. |
Pearl dragon armour is an excellent body armour choice for high-level casters or dodgers who want durability, providing the same AC and GDR as plate mail but with a bearable EV penalty of -3. It also provides one rank of life protection.
Unfortunately, it is rarely found randomly, and pearl dragons can only be found on holy Pandemonium floors and Ziggurats; by that late in the game the resistance it offers is fairly unimportant. You can occasionally find random pearl dragon hides, however, which you can turn into armour by using a scroll of enchant armour on it.
History
Prior to 0.10, this armour was impossible to curse through any source. This was changed, the rationale being that pearl dragon armour is created by mutilating a holy creature's corpse, as opposed to being an item blessed by the Shining One.
