- metal -- this is a special exotic metal, not to be confused with metallic materials in general
Description
Wearing a metallic helm protects against damage from falling objects and monsters.
Wearing metallic armor makes spellcasting more difficult.
A metallivore can eat metallic items.
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
non-metallic gloves protect worn rings from shockStrategy
A hero should carefully consider their choice of armor: metallic armor often provides better armor class, whereas non-metallic armor facilitates spellcasting.
- body armor -- in the early game, trade-off between metallic dwarvish mithril-coat or elven mithril-coat or non-metallic leather armor, studded leather armor, or even crystal plate mail. Later on, dragon scale mail is the best of both worlds.
- shield -- trade-off between a metallic shield of reflection, a non-metallic small shield, or no shield
- gloves -- trade-off between metallic gauntlets of power and non-metallic gloves
Polymorphing into a metallivore is a key step for the strategy of eating jewelry to gain intrinsics.
