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. All forms of dragon armor have a default object material of dragonhide.

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. Dragon scales and dragon scale mail weigh 150 aum compared to vanilla NetHack.

Dragon scale shields

If the process to create dragon scale mail is done while confused, the scales will instead be made into a dragon scale shield. Dragon scale shields weigh 75 aum.

List of properties

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

Artifacts

There are also artifact sets of dragon scales and dragon scale mail, each of which can safely be converted to scale, mail and shield form as with other dragon armor:

  • The Steel Scales of Kurtulmak are an artifact set of grey dragon scales that are made of iron rather than dragonhide. They can be converted into dragon scale mail or a dragon scale shield as usual.
  • The Chromatic Dragon Scales are an artifact set of black dragon scales. They can be converted into dragon scale mail or a dragon scale shield as usual.
  • The Platinum Dragon Plate is an artifact set of silver dragon scale mail. It can be converted into dragon scales by cancelling it, and back into dragon scale mail or a dragon scale shield as usual.
