Chainmail of Displacement?

Does it help vs Spells at all?

thnx in advance.

It doesn't give ethereality and it does not give any MR. It's just armor, but it does give a fairly good boost to defense. And iof a spell happens to cause damage that can be absorbed by armor, then it helps.

ah, okay... I wasn't sure if the flavor text meant a different effect of some sort :)

Thanks!

If you have a thug/SC with Awe and natural high defence already, then IMO the Chainmal of Displacement is a nice option (because Awe will reduce the number of attacks at the target, so you get very good use of the Defence skill). Of course it doesn't help a bit against mind hunts or attacks that have a MR check, but still :)

Check the Markata movies if you want to see where Chainmail of Displacement is good and where it is bad:

Notice how Defence 24(+) together with Awe (and fear) means no attacks connect with the ape until blindness caused by the Eye Shield (Eye Shield requires a MR check from the attacker or they loose an eye) kills the poor bastard.

It's also nice cheap low fatigue armour if you can't easily make rainbow armour.
