Gorgon Plate +4 is plate mail +4 which offers an Armor Class of -1. It also offers the wearer 15% fire and acid protection and weighs 30 lbs.
Besides the aforementioned elemental resistances, this armor is noteworthy for its uniquely powerful AC modifier against slashing damage, providing the best protection against it with a single piece of armor, at a value of -6 (which is added over the general -1 AC resulting in the -7 shown in the description). For comparison, unenchanted plate mails and regular plate mails +1/+2/etc. have an AC modifier vs. slashing damage of -3 and full plate mails have, at best, a modifier of -4.
