A special armour made for Nagas, to wear over their tails.

Naga bardings are a type of armor intended for nagas to wear in place of boots, which do not fit on their snake-shaped lower halves. Although significantly less common than boots, they provide double the AC and can be enchanted twice as heavily. In exchange, they do have a slight encumbrance rating, but this has no effect on your spellcasting, stealth, unarmed combat speed, or melee accuracy. Their only impact is a loss of 2 points to your evasion. Possible brands include:

• Fire resistance
• Cold resistance
• Flying
• Stealth
• Running (flavored in-game as "speedy slithering")

AC from naga barding is not penalized by a naga's oddly-shaped body. Non-nagas cannot wear naga barding, though centaurs have centaur barding, a type of barding intended for them.

History

Version 0.12 replaced bardings of levitation with bardings of flying.
