'''Barding of reflection''' is a type of [[tool]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. It is a set of [[barding]] that has a base [[Object materials (EvilHack)|object material]] of [[silver]], and appears as '''polished barding''' when [[Identification|unidentified]].

==Generation==
A monster that is [[Monster starting inventory|generated with]] a [[saddle]] has an effective {{frac|1200}} chance (~0.08%) of generating with a set of barding of reflection.

General [[store]]s and hardware stores can sell barding of reflection.

Barding of reflection can be created at a [[Forge (dungeon feature)|forge]] by combining [[Barding (item)|barding]] and a [[shield of reflection]].

==Description==
A [[hero]] can [[apply]] barding of reflection 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.

While worn, barding of reflection grants 3 base [[AC]] and [[reflection]].

==Strategy==
In addition to the survivability granted by improved AC and head coverage that can block the [[illness]]-inducing bite of [[Zombie (EvilHack)|zombies]], barding of reflection offers stellar protection for steeds against rays from a [[wand of death]] or a disintegration [[breath]] weapon that are aimed at their rider.

==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.
