-1 chain mail

-3 dexterity
Prevents spellcasting

Desirability

Obviously none, although Lear's chain mail is nowhere near as bad as the robe of Misfortune or Folly. Unfortunately, you may find yourself stuck with it if you are trying on unknown randart chain mails. Always carry a scroll of remove curse when wearing unknown artefacts!

History

In 0.13 this artifact will be replaced with Lear's hauberk. This armour will have an enchantment bonus of +27, but will cover your head, hands, and legs, leaving you with only your cloak, shield, and jewellery slots available.
