Large splint mail is a type of body armor that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. Its default object material is iron.

Generation

All giant Samurai start the game with a rustproof large splint mail.

Large splint mail does not randomly generate, but can be wished for and found in the bones. Giant samurai player monsters will always generate with large splint mail.

Large splint mail can be created at a forge by combining two sets of plate mail.

Description

Only giant Samurai can wear large splint mail. While worn, it confers 6 base AC and MC1, the same as standard splint mail.

Strategy

Large splint mail is the only form of body armor that giants can wear, outside of chromatic dragon scales from Tiamat - but only giant Samurai are capable of wearing them, and it will not fit any other player giant. Giant samurai themselves may find it quite cumbersome to keep worn as the game progresses - enchanted mithril large splint mail may prove a worthwhile early wish for them.
