Dragonskin cloak
Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
An opalescent cloak gleaming with the colours of all kinds of dragons. It protects its wearer from most elemental attacks, although somewhat unreliably. |
+4 cloak
Each time the wearer takes damage from one of the following elements, there is a 50% chance to temporarily receive one rank of resistance against it:
Desirability
The dragonskin cloak[1] can only be acquired by killing Tiamat. It has a great enchantment and occasionally gives you resistance to virtually any element. Against serious elemental threats, don't rely on this cloak as your only resistance; taking multiple unresisted attacks from an orb of fire stings. Regardless, if you can kill Tiamat, it's a very nice cloak - if only for the AC.
History
- Prior to 0.25, the dragonskin cloak occasionally provided resistance to Sticky Flame instead of acid.
- The dragonskin cloak was added in 0.10.
