-Red dragon scale mail is rarely used by most characters, since [[reflection]] is sufficient enough to protect a character against many forms of [[fire]] damage, and some other sources of fire are more easily avoidable. It is also likely that you will obtain fire resistance from another source before fire attacks become a serious problem.
+Red dragon scale mail is rarely used by most characters, since [[reflection]] is sufficient enough to protect a hero from rays of [[Fire (element)|fire]] damage, and you will likely obtain fire resistance from another source (usually as an intrinsic) before fire attacks become a serious problem.
 [[Foodless]] [[atheist]] characters may consider red dragon scale mail as an option to protect against the [[fire trap]]s in [[Gehennom]] - while it can be superseded by the [[ring of fire resistance]], the ring must generally be identified in some way first.
-{{upcoming|NetHack 3.7.0|Red dragon scale mail is more likely to be considered for some characters since it confers extrinsic fire resistance: they gain a valuable source of fire damage protection for their inventory, especially against revamped [[flaming sphere]]s, while [[Human (starting race)|humans]] are finally given a means to access infravision outside of polymorph. It may see slightly less early game consideration compared to other colors, due in some part to the [[dwarvish cloak]] - per {{commit|b98a70e3ecaa4cbb5eb18c99de61cf84a2b52213}}, dwarvish cloaks protect against inventory damage from fire and cold {{frac|9|10}} of the time.}}

	Several variants also give red dragon scale mail additional properties while worn, and may even introduce other forms of red dragon scale armor. Variants that implement partial intrinsics and/or [[object properties]] may also make red dragon mail and other colors more worthwhile.
