Plate Mail +1, is magical, but not enchanted plate mail in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, Baldur's Gate II and The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay.

“	Plate mail is a combination of chain armor with metal plates covering the vital areas such as the chest, abdomen, and groin. Similar in construction to bronze plate mail, true plate mail comprises chain and leather. In addition, this suit of plate mail is enchanted[sic] and gives additional bonuses to the wearer's Armor Class.	”

Statistics

Compared to non-magical plate mail, this suit not only offers a bonus of 1 to armor class – setting it to 2 against most weapons, and even to -1 versus slashing ones –, it also weighs a whole 30 pounds less.

It can be worn by most warriors – except the archer, barbarian, beast master, kensai and stalker –, by clerics, totemic druids and – in the original Baldur's Gate II only – even by avengers.^[b]

As for other plate mail, pickpocketing, hiding in shadows and casting of wizard spells are not possible while wearing the armor. It also cannot be equipped with other protective items, such as rings of protection.

A lore of 40 is required to identify this armor. It's worth 5,000 .
