Template:Version032 Template:Armour Template:Flavour Acid dragon scales are a lightweight armour that provides corrosion resistance.

This item has a 33% chance to generate when you slay an acid dragon.

Desirability

An upgrade over plain ring mails and scale mails, acid dragon scales are very light. They are only 1 encumbrance above leather armour, so even if you have poor strength, they won't hinder you much. Overall, they are a nice choice for early casters and EV-based characters. They are also useful for Trolls and Oni who haven't found anything heavier yet.

You might want to upgrade to the slightly heavier swamp dragon scales once you can handle the encumbrance.

Corrosion resistance is useful in the Slime Pits, and against certain enemies like entropy weavers. But if you're a heavy melee character, don't wear this armour just for the resistance. The loss in AC is not worth having rCorr.
