07-22-06, 08:38 PM Chitin Armor, Secrets of Xen'drik. The Chitin Breastplate is +4 AC/+4 Dex, which makes it suck. Battle Chitin and Chiting Armor are good, Chitin Breastplate is ok as long as you have 18 Dex. Dreamhide, however, is awesome. Light armor, made of snake, +4 AC/+5 max dex.

It's a popular material, evidently..

I bet I know why, too.. So you can have a character who's catchphrase is "I've got crabs!"...
Sorry. Had to be said.
