Harmonium plate is a type of body armor that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It has a base material of metal, and appears as a red-lacquered bladed armor when unidentified.

Generation

Harmonium plate mail is not randomly generated, though it can be wished for or found in bones.

Some monsters are generated with harmonium plate when they are created while inside the Law Quest:

  • Captains are always generated with a harmonium plate.
  • Lieutenants are always generated with a harmonium plate.

Oona can be paid to smithing a platinum harmonium plate if she is peaceful, or for free if she is tame. The plate can be attuned to one of three elements — ice, fire, and electricity. The resulting harmonium plate will be blessed, have an enchantment of +0, and grant resistance against the attuned element, as well as the appropriate minor elemental object property: forge-hot, crystalline and arcing, respectively.

A hero with skill in smithing cannot make harmonium plate.

Description

While worn, harmonium plate grants 5 base AC, 6 DR, and MC3. Wearing or removing harmonium plate takes 5 actions. As harmonium armor, harmonium plate gains +1 DR against attacks made by Neutral monsters and +2 DR against those made by Chaotic monsters.
