Carry the black torch! Rouse the idle dead!
Henzell says...
  1. Equipment on this slot provides {ac} and {gdr}, as well as penalties to spellcasting, dodging, and accuracy depending on the {encumbrance rating} of the armour. It takes 5 turns to equip or remove body armour (so 10 total if swapping). See {body armour[2]} for a list of types.
  2. In order of ascending {encumbrance rating}: {robe}, {leather armour}, {troll leather armour}, {ring mail}, {scale mail}, {chain mail}, {plate armour}, {crystal plate armour}. See {dragon scales} for the dragon armours.
