Dark elven bracers are a type of shield that appears in EvilHack. They are bracers that have a base material of adamantine, and appear as etched bracers when unidentified.

Generation

Drow heroes start the game with knowledge of dark elven bracers. Drow Knights and Priests start with a set of dark elven bracers.

Drow mercenaries have a 12 chance of generating with a set of dark elven bracers that count for 2 points of their target generation AC, and drow aligned priests and high priests always generate with a set of dark elven bracers. Drow clerics have a 34 chance of generating with a set of dark elven bracers, and other non-undead drow have a 38 chance of generating with a set of dark elven bracers, with the exception of drow mages.

A set of dark elven bracers can be created at a forge by combining a dark elven dagger and a dark elven mace while the forge's square is darkened.

Description

While worn, a set of dark elven bracers grants 2 base AC—drow gain a bonus point of AC while wearing dark elven bracers, and can safely enchant them to +7. Like other bracers, dark elven bracers allow twoweaponing and the use of two-handed weapons, do not reduce the to-hit of Monks, and do not suppress the extra attack of heroes that are at Grand Master skill in martial arts—in exchange, they gain lower AC bonuses from the hero's shield skill and do not enable shield bashing.

A set of dark elven bracers can be combined with a dark elven heavy mace at a forge while its square is darkened to create dark elven chain mail.
