               The Adventurer's Guide to Standard Armour
              ===========================================

               by Robert DeLoura (deloura@noaapmel.govr),
               and Boudewijn Wayers (dedos4@win.tue.nl).


The table below works as follows:

The first column lists the real name of the armour. Note that the
armours are sorted by type of armour (shirts, full armour, cloaks e.a.,
helmets e.a., gloves and gauntlets, boots, and shields), each of which
can be worn exactly one of. Tanko, kabuto and yugake are Japanese names
for the same armour that they are mentioned with.

"AC" is the number of armour class points you gain
from a +0 version of the piece of armour.

"Pr" is the probability that this armour will be randomly generated, on
a scale of one-in-a-thousand (for example when you are polymorphing).

The "Powers" column denotes any magical properties the armour has. The
various entries mean the following:

Power	Meaning                            Power   Meaning
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disint  Grants disintegration resistance   Dex     Enhances your dexterity

Shock   Grants shock resistance            Fast    Speeds you up
Poison  Grants poison resistance           WWalk   Makes you walk on water
ESP     Confers Extra Sensory Perception   Jump    You can jump
Protect Gives additional protection        Invis   Makes you invisible
#       Gives some protection against      Stealth Confers stealth
	special attacks (the more #'s,     Rust    Protects agains rust
	the better the protection, it's    Reflect Reflects certain attacks
	getting exponentially better)      Align   Changes your alignment

An asterisk in the "Appearance" column means that the appearance (see
below) of the item changes from game to game. Per type, the items are
sorted by alphabet, except for body armour, which is sorted by armour
class first.

"Appearance" is what a character who is not knowledgeable about the
specific type of armour would think the armour was, if this is
different from its normal name. If this space is left blank (--), the
item is recognized by everyone.

"Wt" is weight. Weight is dependent on what an item really is, not on
its appearance. For example, a helm of brilliance would always weigh
30, no matter what it was called.

Finally, the "Made of" column lists what the armour is made of. IRON
denotes ferrous metals, including steel. Only IRON armour can rust.
Only COPPER corrodes.
