Adamantine Scale Mail | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

Adamantine Scale Mail is a Medium Armor in Baldur's Gate 3. Medium Armor can be equipped to a character's body in their designated inventory slot providing AC and sometimes special effects. Although heavier armor usually provides more protection, keep in mind they may also hinder your characters' spell casting.

The adamantine scales hug your body like a second skin - a heavy, near-impregnable skin.

Adamantine Scale Mail Notes & Tips

• Albeit not stated, the Armour Class indicates this is a +2 Scale Mail.
• BG3 Damage Reduction: Any Damage Resistance is calculated first (e.g. from Barbarian Rage), then the Magical Plate damage reduction. 
• Reeling: An attacker hitting the wearer of this armour would get a -2 Attack penalty to his next attack that round, and a -1 on the first attack the following round. This effect is stacking until a hit resets the duration.
