Full plate mail is heavy body armor that absorbs six points of ordinary damage. In the infobox, p is the individual suit's enchantment.[1]
Generation
Full plate mail 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]
Julie's sells a fully identified, uncursed +0 suit for 1500 Au.[6]
Description
Wear it in the Armor slot. Its normal-damage absorption is 6; its contribution to defense is your enchantment minus 4. 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.[7][8]
It has no additional worn magical power. Its familiar appearance identifies the type, but a random find can still conceal its enchantment and curse. A cursed suit sticks when worn; full identification lets you judge the individual item before that commitment.[9][10][11]
Strategy
At 1500 Au, it costs half as much as plate armor but weighs 100 more and absorbs one less. Its 600 weight makes total burden worth checking before purchase: slowing yourself can expose you to more attacks. When money is scarce, partial plate saves 600 Au and 200 weight in exchange for one absorption; do not confuse the separate item names full plate mail and plate armor.
Compare all body armor and shields when assembling your defenses.
