Melodic Chain is an enchanted elven chain armor +3, which offers an base armor class of 2, but can only be worn by bards.

This armor doesn't prevent arcane spell casting, but gives the penalties to Thieving Abilities, same as Elven Chain Mail.

Acquisition[]

The armor is only found during the quest to Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign. It is dropped by Aawill, leader of the Planar Bounty Hunters.

Description[]

The Bards of Melody were a small band of half-elf bardic warriors who entertained and defended scattered elven communities throughout Calimshan. Enchantments allowed only minstrels to wear their armor, the magical links sliding together to produce beautiful melodies as they danced or fought. Unfortunately the Bards of Melody were disbanded hundreds of years ago, and the secret of 'playing' the armor faded with them.
