Dwarven Mithril Plate Battle Armor

• Dwarven Mithril Plate Battle Armor. PLATDS02, DSPLAT03, AC -2, Con +2, usable by Dwarves and Gnomes only.

This plate armor, made of strong plates of mithril alloy, was crafted by Ferthgil Trollslayer under the tutelage of Otho Truehammer, master smithy, leader of Clan Truehammer and father of his best friend, Tearlac Truehammer. Ferthgil has shown himself quite a worthy smithy, but prefers the battlefield to the forge. This armor has the equivalent abilities of normal plate mail that has been enchanted to give it a +5 armor class bonus. However, no magic or enchantments were utilized in the creation of this armor.

Worn by Dark Side super-tanker companion, Ferthgil Trollslayer (but wearable by any Dwarf or Gnome), this armor's base AC is comparable to Red Dragon Scale and White Dragon Scale in BG2 (which, like this armor, can also be worn with Rings of Protection). In fact, the only non-enchanted armor that beats them all hands-down is Drow Full Plate BG2, but that's coded to disintegrate upon leaving the Underdark. And none of the BG2 armors flaunt Con +2 - a stackable bonus that retroactively boosts HPs.
