Bronze plate mail is a type of body armor that appears in NetHack. It is made of copper.
Generation
In addition to random generation, general stores and armor shops can stock bronze plate mail.
Player monster barbarians, knights, priests, and valkyries have an effective 5⁄124 chance (roughly ~4.03%) of forcing bronze plate mail in place of their initial body armor.[1][2][3][4]
Description
While worn, bronze plate mail provides 6 base AC and MC1.
Strategy
Bronze plate mail offers 1 less AC and a lower level of magic cancellation than standard plate mail for the same amount of weight, with its only advantage being immunity to erosion by rust (but not corrosion).
