A suit made of interlocking metal rings.

Chain mail is one of the heavier normal armours you can acquire providing substantial defense but at a heavy cost to evasion. It requires a minimum of 12 strength to wear effectively.

Although players focusing on the Armour skill may get some use out of this early on, they should switch to plate mail or better as soon as possible for superior defense. Dodgers and casters will likely find this armour too heavy to bother with.
