The Jester's Chain is enchanted and magical armor in Shadows of Amn and The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay.

Description[]

Friends of Dekirh Fasthands, a bard who insisted on playing the rowdiest towns on the Sword Coast, gave him this suit of magical chain as a gift. The chain mail was given to protect Dekirh from the drunken spectators who often threw rotting produce, chairs, and even knives at Dekirh. The bard appreciated the gift but painted it with wild colors to better fit into his show.

Gameplay[]

The Jester's Chain can't be worn together with a number of other protective items, such as rings or amulet of protection.[1]

Though being named after the bard kit jester, bards aren't able to pick pockets or cast their spells while wearing it.

Locations[]

Obtained from a Mithral Token Machine in the asylum labyrinth[2]

"With a jarring rattle, the machine dispenses a suit of armor!"[3]

Gladiators of Thay[]

Unused references[]

  • The Jester's Chain is referenced in a script, MAGNET.bcs: any character wearing this or any other metal armor would be "magnetized" – affected by a wing buffet – towards a creature named Magnet (PPINVI01.cre), while simultaneously a secret door is unlocked. However, the Magnet does not appear in-game. [citation needed]
