| Armour made from the scales of a steam-breathing dragon. Unlike the armour made from the scales of some larger dragons, it does not provide its wearer with much protection, but it is extremely light and supple. |
Steam dragon armour is the lightest of the dragon armours, having an encumbrance rating of 0 (the same as a robe). Although rare, you can make a suit of this armour by using a scroll of enchant armour on a steam dragon hide.
Desirability
It does give more AC than a robe, but usually, an armour such as a mottled dragon armour, troll leather armour, or if you can handle the spellcasting and EV hit, a fire dragon armour will be better. Steam resistance is virtually useless, and 5 base AC is not particularly impressive.
History
Steam dragon armour's AC was raised in version 0.10 from 4 to 5.
