'''Spiked barding''' 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 [[iron]].

==Generation==
A monster that is [[Monster starting inventory|generated with]] a [[saddle]] has an effective {{frac|600}} chance (0.17%) of generating with a set of spiked barding.

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

Spiked barding can be created at a [[Forge (dungeon feature)|forge]] by combining [[Barding (item)|barding]] and a [[morning star]].

==Description==
A [[hero]] can [[apply]] spiked 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.

While worn, spiked barding grants 3 base [[AC]] and protects the wearer from [[digestion attack]]s, similar to a [[ring of slow digestion]].

==Strategy==
In addition to the survivability granted by improved AC and head coverage that can block the [[illness]]-inducing bite of [[Zombie (EvilHack)|zombies]], spiked barding also prevents steeds from being unceremoniously and instantly killed by [[Dragon (EvilHack)|dragons]] and other monster-digesting hostiles.

==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.
