MITHRAL FIELD PLATE ARMOR, Icewind Dale 1

Mithral Armor Icewind Dale 1

As it pertains to raw defense (Armor Class IWD), the best armor in Icewind Dale 1 is Mithral Field Plate Armor +2, which is found in the Dwarven Compound of Upper Dorn's Deep.

What makes the armor special is that, in IWD v1.06, AC-based protection items (rings, cloaks) erroneously stack with it. Being magical in nature (+2 enchantment), we shouldn't be able to wear protection items if the armor is equipped (or vice versa), but we can.

The weight of this armor is also erroneous: being of mithral-make, it should be much lighter.

Basically, it looks like Black Isle simply copy-pasted from the Plate Mail Armor and Full Plate Mail templates of the original Baldur's Gate 1.

Mithral Field Plate Armor Description

Full plate armor is the best armor a warrior can buy, both in appearance and protection.  The perfectly fitted interlocking plates are specially angled to deflect arrows and blows, and the entire suit is carefully adorned with rich engraving and embossed detail.
