Orcish chain mail is a type of body armor that appears in NetHack. It is made of iron, and appears as crude chain mail when unidentified.
Generation
Mordor orcs and orc-captains have a 1⁄3 chance of being generated with an orcish chain mail.[1][2]
Description
When worn, orcish chain mail provides a base AC bonus of 4 and MC1.
Strategy
As with most orcish items, orcish chain mail is less effective than standard chain mail, and scale mail gives the same AC for less weight. Crude chain mail can still suffice as armor for roles that do not regularly cast until lighter armor such as a mithril-coat can be found.
Variants
Some variants may give orcs (including the player) an AC bonus for wearing orcish chain mail.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, you can upgrade orcish chain mail into regular chain mail.
EvilHack
In EvilHack, orcish chain mail grants +1 AC to orcish monsters that wear them.
You can create orcish chain mail at a forge by combining ring mail and an orcish shield.
