 ==Armor breath weapons==
-If a hero wears dragon armor (scales or scale mail) together with a matching dragon scale shield, then they gain the ability to use a matching [[breath weapon]], usable via the #ability command. For example, if a hero wears both red dragon scale mail and a red dragon scale shield, then they can breathe fire which deals the same damage as the breath of the corresponding at the same level - in dNetHack and notdNetHack, breath attacks gain 1 damage die per 3 levels, with a maximum of 10 bonus dice at level 30 or higher. Using breath weapons this way costs 15 [[energy]] and sets a cooldown of [[rnz]](100) turns each for the armor and shield, with {{frac|4|5}} of the duration for [[Cavepeople]] - both the armor and shield must complete their cooldown before the breath weapon can be used again. Artifact dragon scales and scale mail have no cooldown, but artifact dragon shields still do.

Artifact dragon scales and scale mail have no cooldown, but artifact dragon shields still do.
 Some artifact dragon scales count as additional types of dragon or breath weapon for the purpose of matching. If shield and armor match despite being different base colors, then the breath weapon type used is based on the base type of the shield.
