'''Troll leather armour''' is one of the lightest [[armour]]s in the game, providing slightly more defense than [[leather armour]] with no additional [[encumbrance rating]]. It also provides a +40 bonus to the wearer's [[regeneration rate]], though your [[hunger]] rate is increased to 1.5× normal for as long as you are not at max [[HP]]. This regeneration bonus does not apply to [[troll]]s, [[deep dwarves]], or bloodless [[vampire]]s, but does affect [[mummies]] in spite of their lack of a hunger clock.

A suit of armour made from the stiff and knobbly skin of a troll. It magically regenerates its wearer's flesh.

"THE TROLL KING: Now, listen, Prince Peer, and give way to reason!

I shall probably find it just as easy
To deal with your Trollish way of living.

But to know that one never can get one's freedom –

That is a thing that I'll not submit to."

-Henrik Ibsen, _Peer Gynt_. 1867.

Troll leather armour is one of the lightest armours in the game, providing slightly more defense than leather armour with no additional encumbrance rating. It also provides a +40 bonus to the wearer's regeneration rate. This regeneration bonus does not apply to deep dwarves. Ghouls and bloodless vampires do not get the regeneration bonus when monsters are visible.

This armour is rare, but you can get one at random by slaying virtually any troll. Different varieties of troll will drop different-colored armor, but all troll leather armour works the same regardless of the troll it came from. The unique trolls Purgy and Snorg may drop hides that are already enchanted, while the moon troll of Lehudib's Moon Base will drop the Moon troll leather armour (or an artefact troll armour, if you've already found it).

Note that despite its similarity in name to the less-universally-wearable leather armour, troll leather armour can be worn by any character that can wear body armour, not just small and medium species.

Desirability

Middling. While troll leather armour is better than comparable mundane armours, its AC value is inferior to all of the dragon armours, and it provides no resistances. Its regeneration boost is equivalent to that of an amulet of regeneration, potentially freeing up an amulet slot for you (or you can combine the two and heal even faster).

Ultimately, this can still be a good item, particularly for characters who have no other way to speed up their healing or for ogres, trolls, and spriggans who have yet to find dragon scales and still wish to improve their durability. Any EV-based character should keep an eye out for a well-enchanted artefact troll leather armour.
