Lamellar armor is light body armor with the absorption of partial plate and a smaller defense penalty. In the infobox, p is the individual suit's enchantment.[1]
Generation
Lamellar 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]
Julie's sells a fully identified, uncursed +0 suit for 3000 Au.[6]
Description
Wear it in the Armor slot. Its normal-damage absorption is 5; its contribution to defense is your enchantment minus 2. 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
Its 3000 Au shop price pays for efficiency: compared with partial plate it saves 200 weight and one defense penalty while retaining five absorption. Mithril chain has the same basic physical statistics and adds fear immunity, but is not Julie's stock. Lamellar is therefore a reliable purchase when the load saved matters and you cannot count on a magical drop.
Compare all body armor and shields when assembling your defenses.
