'''Barding''' is a type of [[tool]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. It is a form of [[armor]] designed to fit any eligible [[steed]], and also comes in [[Spiked barding|spiked]], [[Barding of reflection|reflective]] and [[Runed barding|runed]] varieties. Standard barding has a base [[Object materials (EvilHack)|object material]] of [[iron]].

==Description==
While worn, barding grants 3 [[AC]].

==Strategy==
Barding offers an additional level of survivability to a steed.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Barding (also spelled bard or barb) is body armour for war horses.
The practice of armoring horses was first extensively developed in
antiquity in the eastern kingdoms of Parthia and Pahlava, and
after the conquests of Alexander the Great it made its way into
European military practices via the Seleucid Empire and later
Byzantine Empire. Though its historical roots lie in antiquity in
the regions of what was once the Persian Empire, barded horses have
become a symbol of the late European Middle Ages chivalry and the
era of knights.

-A [[hero]] can [[apply]] barding to a [[pet]] that is eligible for [[riding]] to equip them with it, though they can resist as with an applied saddle - the hero can enchant their steed's barding by reading a [[scroll of enchant armor]] while mounted on the steed; a prompt will appear to confirm whether or not the steed's barding is the intended target.

-Though it is the most basic of its item type, barding offers an additional level of survivability to a steed by increasing its AC, and the head coverage makes it less likely to be felled by the [[illness]]-inducing bite of a [[Zombie (EvilHack)|zombie]].
