    [​IMG] It depends on your class.

    Red Dragon scale --- The best armor.
    Shadow Dragon Armor ---> For those who can't use plate armor, like thieves.
    Robe of Vecna ---> For mages.

    I can't see how any Drow armor can be considered when deciding on the best armor in the game since you can only use it for a very small part of the game.

    True but I couldn't come up with anny other armors. Now that i think of it robes are armors also. But what is the difference between Robe of good Archmagi and Robe of Vecna?

    My pick is the one of a thief
    Best - the +5 leather, The Night's Gift
    Second - Shadow Scales (just for AC maniacs, I always use the first)
    Third - Elven Chainmail (something about that shimmering green color makes me wear this particular suit :))

    fighters:
    1.) Red Dragon scales AC -1 considered as non magical(can use rings with it)
    2.) Armor of the Heart AC -2 but magical
    3.) The Pride of The legion AC -1 but only paladins can get it

    thieves:
    1.) Shadow Dragon scale AC 1 +50% res. to acid
    2.) The night's gift +5 AC 3 +20% hide in shadows
    3.) Shadow armor AC 4 +15% hide in shadows

    drow stuff excluded :D ;) :

    -fighters - pride of the legion (field plate +2 - lightest one of the three), armor of the heart & red dragon scale

    -thiefs - shadow dragon scale, night´s gift, elven chain +4

    -mages - robe of vecna, gives you improved spellcasting speed (-4 on spellcasting initiative) and 10% magic resistance.

    -brac of AC 3 are nice for all classes, but especially mages and druids

    Another poll! Yay.
    I think all of you are forgetting the Human Flesh+5 for a thief. I think (although my memory is not perfect)it's better than the night's gift.

    [​IMG] I agree - the human flesh is a must for every *evil* thief. I tend to forget about it for I usually play good.

    My favourites are

    1. Red Dragon scale, the non-magic thing is great.
    2. Gorgon Plate, IMHO the best platemail armour.
    3. Robe of Vecna, less casting time is very useful
