Mithril plate armor is magical body armor combining substantial absorption with fear immunity, also awarded on becoming a Paladin. In the infobox, p is the individual suit's enchantment.[1]
Generation
Mithril plate armor can be found among randomly generated treasure, including the random possessions of treasure-bearing monsters, and may appear in Knight's Pawn Shop. A noncursed acquirement effect can create body armor; a blessed effect lets you select this type, but the resulting item's blessing and enchantment still follow its own generation rules.[2][3][4][5]
It is not part of Julie's fixed stock.[6]
The Order of Paladins gives a fully identified +0 suit with blessing strength 9 when a Chevalier advances to Paladin. This promotion requires at least 4000 Order experience and alignment 200.[7]
Description
Wear it in the Armor slot. Its normal-damage absorption is 8; its contribution to defense is your enchantment minus 3. These are different protections: enchantment makes you harder to hit but does not increase absorption. See Defense and protection for the damage floor, burden and attacks that bypass armor.[8][9]
While worn, it grants fear immunity, even when cursed. A cursed suit also makes you berserk for as long as its effect remains: attacks on nonhostile creatures skip the usual confirmation, so moving into a peaceful creature can have consequences. Ordinary removal withdraws the armor's fear protection and its cursed berserk contribution.[10][11]
The type's visible name does not reveal every copy's enchantment or curse. Its magical power can also be stripped by a mundanity effect without changing that name; being blessed is not a guarantee against every way of losing protection.[12][13]
Strategy
The Order's known, blessed reward is a dependable upgrade if you are already following that career. At equal enchantment it absorbs one more than ordinary plate, weighs 200 less and has one less defense penalty. Mithril chain saves a further 100 weight and one defense, but loses three absorption. A random cursed suit is less attractive despite retaining fear immunity.
