Dragon armor (dNetHack)
In dNetHack and notdNetHack, dragon armor and dragon scales are significantly altered from NetHack and SLASH'EM, with both scales and armor being given additional properties while worn. dNetHack and notdNetHack also include dragon scale shields in addition to dragon scale mail.
Description
Dragon scale mail is created via the standard method of reading a scroll of enchant armor and having it target worn scales in the body armor slot - if this is done while confused, the scales will create a shield instead.
Below is a list of the base resistances and additional properties conferred by each color of dragon scales or scale armor:
Color | Extrinsic | dNetHack additional extrinsics |
---|---|---|
Blue | shock resistance | speed |
Black | disintegration resistance | drain resistance |
Deep | drain resistance | unchanging |
Gray | magic resistance | half spell damage |
Green | poison resistance | sickness resistance |
Orange | sleep resistance | free action, hallucination resistance |
Red | fire resistance | flying (scales and mail only), protects from sliming |
Shimmering | displacement | infinite range see invisible |
Silver | dragonbreath reflection (improved over normal reflection) | none |
White | cold resistance | magical breathing, swimming, wetproofed inventory |
Yellow | acid resistance | stoning resistance |
