 Orange dragon scale mail is somewhat more useful at a glance compared to some other colors of dragon mail: many of the items, [[trap]]s and attacks that can put a character to [[sleep]] are not able to be countered by [[reflection]] other than the breath weapon and [[wand of sleep]]. Being put to sleep is also quite deadly in its own right, as many monsters can get in several attacks before you wake up, and there are relatively few other extrinsic sources of the resistance - a [[ring of free action]] only protects against the [[potion of sleeping]] and its vapors.
-With this in mind, there are many [[corpse]]s that provide intrinsic sleep resistance in some form, particularly those of [[Elf (monster attribute)|elven]] monsters, and [[Elf (starting race)|elven]] characters obtain the intrinsic at [[experience level]] 4. Once a long-term source of the property is obtained, orange dragon scale mail is generally unlikely to see use. One use case involving the dragon mail is a [[foodless]] [[atheist]] character, who has much fewer means to obtain the property and is at particularly high risk from [[sleeping gas trap]]s.

 {{upcoming|NetHack 3.7.0|Orange dragon scale mail is more likely to be considered for characters since it confers free action: this can free up a vital [[ring]] slot for a character not reliant on body armor for reflection or [[magic resistance]].}}
