what benifits do you get from the mail of the dead??

cheers

I actually found it useful on Jaheira until I was able to plunk her into full plate+1. I think it was +2 or +3 AC, and a nice feature was it is light weight which makes it good for a character that can't wear heavy armor.

Here are the stats for the Mail of the Dead.

Chain mail +2: 'Mail of the Dead'
A mage can make an extremely effective assassin, as Vorusta illustrated over 400 years ago. He would create skeleton warriors equipped with this enchanted armor and a powerful blade, and give their circlet of power to the target as a friendly gift. When the killing machine was through with its work, Vorusta retrieved the equipment and started the entire process over.
