A special armour made for Nagas, to wear over their tails.

Naga bardings are a type of armor intended for nagas to wear in place of boots, which do not fit on their serpentine lower halves. Although significantly less common than boots, they provide double the base AC and can be enchanted twice as heavily. In exchange, they do have a slight encumbrance rating, but this has no effect on your spellcasting, stealth, unarmed combat speed, or melee accuracy. Their only impact is a loss of 2 points to your evasion. Possible egos include:

• Fire resistance
• Cold resistance
• Flying
• Stealth
• Running (flavored in-game as "speedy slithering")

AC from naga barding is not penalized by a naga's oddly-shaped body. Non-nagas cannot wear naga barding, though centaurs have centaur barding, a type of barding intended for them.

History

Version 0.12 replaced bardings of levitation with bardings of flying.
