Scale armour

Scale Armour is actually an oddball. It isn't really a complete set of armour. Instead, it is more a upgrade for the chest and head part of the Chain Armour. In these places however, the Scale Armour does good work, and protects even better. Almost all weaker weapons a simply deflected by the scales, making it a very good protection. On the negative side, it is more expensive and heavier than the chain variant, only useable for the more wealthy and stronger warrior.

History
First appearing in Ultima V, not much new came to this armour, as it seems to be only a gap-filler. Only the helmet in Ultima VII was new. Otherwise, nothing much changed.

Complete set (Ultima VII)
By Ultima VII, a complete set Scale Armour contains these parts:
 * Scale Armour
 * Closed Helmet

For the other body parts, pieces from other armour classes have to be used, because they don't exist in a scale variant.
