| A magical armour made from the golden scales of a golden dragon. It is extremely heavy and cumbersome but confers resistances to cold, fire, and poison on its wearer. |
Gold dragon armour is one of the heaviest body armours in the game, providing excellent physical defense as well as resistance to fire, cold, and poison. Unfortunately, it requires at least 27 strength to wear effectively, and its EV penalty is massive enough to make magic all but impossible and the Dodging skill much less effective. Although extremely rare, it can be created by enchanting a gold dragon hide with a scroll of enchant armour or, very rarely, given as an armour gift to Okawaru worshipers.
It takes 13 turns to wear or remove gold dragon armour.
Strategy
Although three guaranteed resistances and excellent AC and GDR may sound tempting, realize that few species can naturally reach the strength requirement to wear it comfortably, and that ruining your evasion leads to you getting hit far more often than you otherwise would. Trolls and ogres may want to use this if only because they have difficulty finding resistances elsewhere, and their evasion score is already heavily penalized, but others can likely find better performance elsewhere. Consider yourself warned.
