Animal skin

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Name	Animal skin
Size to wear	All except giant
Armour Class	2
Encumbrance rating	+0
Maximum Enchantment	+2
Grants	nothing
Time to Wear	5

A large piece of thick skin covered in fur, cut from the corpse of an animal and worn as a primitive garment. It offers rudimentary protection against harm, but, having never been tanned, it carries a light stench of rotting flesh.

An animal skin is a piece of armour that is functionally identical to a robe: 2 base AC, no encumbrance rating. It takes 3 turns to wear or remove.

If your character begins with animal skin for armor, you may want to consider switching to a robe as soon as possible because it may have enchantments and/or a useful ego. Animal skins are not normally generated with egos outside of a few special vaults, including some ice caves.

History

Prior to 0.12, several monsters (sheep, yak, death yak) could leave these when butchered.
