Version 0.19: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Name Steam dragon scales
Size to wear All
Armour Class 5
Encumbrance rating +0
Maximum Enchantment +5
Grants rSteam
Time to Wear 5


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 scales is the lightest of the dragon armours, having an encumbrance rating of 0 (the same as a robe).

Desirability

It does give more AC than a robe, but usually, an armour such as a mottled dragon scales, troll leather armour, or if you can handle the spellcasting and EV hit, a fire dragon scales will be better. Steam resistance is virtually useless, and 5 base AC is not particularly impressive. Yet you can enchant it to +5 by using 5x a scroll of enchant armour.

History

Steam dragon scales replaced steam dragon armour in 0.19.
