Name	Scale Mail
Size to wear	Small, Medium
Armour Class	6
Encumbrance rating	11
Maximum Enchantment	+6
Grants	nothing
Time to Wear	5

A leather suit covered with metal plates attached to each other in overlapping rows to provide full protection, but at the cost of reduced freedom of movement.

“Nought can Deform the Human race
Like to the Armours iron brace”
-William Blake, “Auguries of Innocence”, 99-100. 1803.

Scale mail is a mediocre form of body armour, providing so-so physical defense coupled with a significant Encumbrance rating. Most physical fighters will prefer armour with better GDR or less Dodging penalty, while casters usually can't afford the spellcasting penalty. Unless you find a very nice randart scale mail, you can probably do better.
