It's amazing armour to have for free on a mage, but on cavalry it's just 15 prot, -1 def. That's pretty special, but less special than Ulm's Black Plate and only a little better than a plate cuirass (14 prot, -1 def).

It can't be dialled back as is, because it's using the stats for the forged dragon scale mail. However, creating a new armour type isn't very challenging - what were you thinking the stats should be?

Peryton riders may still be a concern, as they benefit more from good armour with low enc.
