Drow Elven Chain

Drow Elven Chain is enchanted elven chain mail +3 which bestows an armor class of 2 upon the wearer. It also gives the wearer a 5% magic resistance bonus and reduces the speed factor of all spells by 1. Bards can wear this and are able to cast spells. Thieves can wear this too, but like all elven chain, it lowers thieving abilities.


 * Hide in shadow is lowered by 10%


 * Lockpicking and finding/disarming traps 5%


 * Pickpocketing is lowered by 20%.

It has the same protection modifiers as normal chain mail. The armor will dissolve to Adamantine Dust if it's exposed to sunlight, which can't be avoided by storing the armor in the Bag of Holding. This elven chain armor can't be worn by druids, Kensai, mages and sorcerers.

This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.

In-game description
"The delicate yet sturdy craftsmanship of the Elven races allows them to design many beautiful yet utilitarian goods. Among these is Elven chain mail, which is so finely wrought that it can be worn under normal clothing without revealing its presence. This and its lightness allows it to be worn by thieves and fighter/mages with few restrictions. This item, like most drow equipment, is created using Adamantine, an alloy of adamantite that quickly turns to dust if removed from the Underdark. This magical drow chain mail gives the wearer a bonus of 5% to magic resistance and takes 1 off of the speed factor of all spells cast by the wearer of the armor."
