Red Dragon Scale

Red Dragon Scale Armor is some kind of full plate made from Red Dragon Scales by Cromwell in Athkatla Docks for some gold. Because this armor is made from the skin of animals, like Ankheg Plate Mail, this armor can also be worn by druids and it offers the same armor class bonuses against specific type of attacks. It also offers the wearer 50% fire resistance. This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.

Section heading
"Dragon Scale armor is light of weight, strong, and resistant to fire. Because of these properties it is much sought after, but finding, let alone slaying, a powerful ancient dragon is near impossible. It is usually easier to search for an existing suit, such as this one. One should be careful wearing it near dragons, however, particularly red ones."
