Size to wear	Special
Armour Class	4
Encumbrance rating	-6
Maximum Enchantment	+4
Grants	nothing
Time to Wear	5

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 snake-like lower halves. They provide more AC than boots in exchange for having a slight encumbrance rating, and can provide even more AC by being enchanted (up to +4). The only penalty derived from their encumbrance rating is the loss of 2 points of evasion. Naga bardings don't affect spellcasting, stealth, unarmed combat speed, or melee accuracy. The AC bonus given by a naga barding is not affected by their oddly-shaped bodies. Possible brands include:

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

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.
