| 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 that provides the same AC and GDR as plate armour but with a bearable encumbrance rating of -11. 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. You can occasionally find random pearl dragon hides, however, which you can turn into armour by using a scroll of enchant armour on it.
Desirability
This is often considered the ultimate armour for a caster or EV charcter, providing the same protection as plate armour with an encumbrance rating that won't badly impact Dodging or Spellcasting. Unfortunately, it is far too rare to rely on finding - plan on using a fire dragon armour.
History
Prior to 0.10, this armour was impossible to curse by any means. 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.
