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
