Elven Chain Mail

Elven Chain Mail is a very light magical armor found in the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Siege of Dragonspear, Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal, and The Black Pits II.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
This armor has a weight of only 7 lbs and provides an armor class of 5. It has the same protection modifiers as regular Chain Mail: a bonus of 2 against slashing, but also a penalty of 2 against crushing attacks.
Its very low weight makes it ideal for low-strength characters.
The fine elven craftmasnship of this chain mail allows Thieves and Bards to be wearing it while performing their shadowy abilities, but they should be wary of the penalties: lockpicking and trap-finding/disarming are lowered by 5%, hide in shadows by 10% and pickpocketing by 20%.
Moreover, its craftsmanship also makes it possible to be worn by arcane casters who will still be able to cast wizard spells without any spell failure, so it may be a good choice for Bards, Fighter / Mages, Cleric / Mages, F/M/Ts, and F/M/Cs.
The Elven Chain Mail can't be worn by the specialized Kensai fighters and Archer rangers, along with Druids, Monks, Mages and Sorcerers.
