nope. but your PC has to be a paladin to get it. I think, in SoA, that the best is a tie between Gorgon Plate and Armor of the Hart. The Gorgon Plate has elemental and slashing resistance, but the Armor of the Hart is much more versatile.

However, in ToB, you get Shuruppak's Plate (AC-2, +1 Dex) and the White Dragon Scale, which counts as light enchanted chainmail +7, so it's AC-2, is usable by everyone but solo mages, allows spellcasting, gives 50% cold resistance, casts Cone of Cold 3x/day, AND doesn't require ANY dragonslaying to get!

The best armor is the grand master armor found in ToB(+6) (quite early actually) Or the human flesh (+5) the better armors are the leather ones, as the other best ones are the +5 elven chain you can make in tob, and gorgon plate and then comes drizzt's mythril.....

Actually, the White Dragon Scale does NOT allow Wizard spells, but it does allow Thieving skills with absolutely NO penalties! (Other chain mails, even Elven Chain, will lower your Thiving skills while worn.)

Overall best starts out being normal Full Plate, until you don't need to worry about Saving Throws anymore, and that's when you pull on the Armor of the Hart or the Gorgon Plate. And then, glory be, you get Shuruppak's Plate in ToB and happily regain your lost point of DEX. The Grandmaster's Armor is also very nice, if your Thief still wants to keep his Boots of Stealth or Elvenkind, and the Asylferund Elven Chain is also a must-have, especially for classes like the Cleric/Mage.

Since ToB is mentioned I must say that there is an armor in ToB you forgot all about. This armor makes everything mentioned here look like nothing. This armor is a hugh spoiler so I'll not say anymore.

I choose not to count that because of the extremely remote chance that anyone would actually get it without cheating, and it makes you so big that you can't fit through most doors.

Does any one have human skin for armor i used the code ("leat21")to get it. It is ok. But only for evil char. only. HAHAHAHA!

You can get the human skin one from a multiple chapter quest thingy BTW.

Mine and your favorite class, eh Sir Exxon? :D [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] :D

My favorite, for my cavalier... (yes I know I should agree with Exxon)
is the Red Dragon Scale Armor. The reason being, I put that on, the ring of fire resistance, and (I think it was) the ring of fire control. HA HA! That gave me 150 some odd resistance points.

Red Dragons Beware!!!!!!

The Human Flesh is indeed an EXCELLENT armor, but it's not really for Tanks. It's absolutely wonderful against spellcasters, however, and best put on a Fighter/Thief with Use Any Item, so you can attain a happy happy 100% Magic Resistance. Too bad it makes you look like you're naked when you're wearing it, though.

well....you sort of are naked, but its someone else being naked over top of you *shrug*

my vote goes to armor of the hart
