The scales of an acid dragon. Although it does not provide its wearer with as much protection as the armour made from the scales of some larger dragons, it is somewhat lighter and less encumbering. It is also remarkably smooth, letting corrosive slime flow off it like water. |
Useful info
Acid dragon scales are a fairly lightweight armour and a decent armour choice for stealthy or spellcasting characters, providing decent AC and GDR in exchange for a very small encumbrance rating. Wearing these scales grants rCorr.
This item may randomly generate when you slay an acid dragon.
Desirability
The encumbrance rating of these scales is so small that even characters with a terrible Armour skill aptitude (such as spriggans, ogres, trolls, or deep elves) can easily overcome it.
Some players will prefer the extra AC these scales provide, while others may find that a useful property (such as that from robe of the Archmagi, troll leather armour, or even just a leather armour of fire resistance) is more useful. Ultimately, it depends on your play style and what other equipment you have found.
Acid dragon scales are the lightest armour that does not permit casting of Ozocubu's Armour.
