Scale mail 5e

Scale mail is a type of armor in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. Here are the rules for scale mail:

Scale Mail

• Armor Class: 12 (natural armor)
• Armor Type: Light armor
• Weight: 10 pounds
• Requirements: Strength 13

Properties:

• Scale mail is made up of overlapping scales that provide protection against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• The armor has a natural armor bonus to Armor Class, which is calculated as follows: 12 + your Dexterity modifier (minimum 0).
• Scale mail does not provide any additional protection against non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage.
• Scale mail is not considered heavy armor, so it does not impose any penalties on movement or ability checks.

Cost:

• 100 gold pieces

Availability:

• Scale mail is available for purchase from armorers and other merchants.
• It can also be crafted by a skilled armorer using the Craft Arms and Armor skill.

Notes:

• Scale mail is a type of light armor, which means it provides less protection than medium or heavy armor. However, it is still a viable option for characters who want to prioritize mobility and flexibility.
• The natural armor bonus provided by scale mail is based on the character's Dexterity modifier, which means that characters with high Dexterity scores will benefit more from wearing scale mail.
• Scale mail is not as effective against magical attacks as it is against non-magical attacks, so characters who expect to face a lot of magical threats may want to consider other armor options.
