| 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, especially since fire resistance also provides steam resistance, and 5 base AC is not particularly impressive. However, the maximum enchantment of +5 is high for armour with no encumbrance.
History
Steam dragon scales replaced steam dragon armour in 0.19.
