# Talk:Scroll of destroy armor
I don't know if this is right but when i was a Barbarian and read a scroll of destroy armor my armor went away but my AC did not go up, it stayed the same.

Armor doesn't always lower AC. Dwarfish and Orcish cloaks provide 0 AC. Burned/rusted/corroded armor can provide 0 AC if it gets sufficiently eroded. Negative enchantment can also provide a net AC change of 0. -- Qazmlpok 02:46, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
Beginner - nothing in code indicates differing effects, just different messages sans armor
"If you are not a beginner", at the start of the Description section - except for a strange/normal feeling if not wearing armor (instead of your skin/bones itching), I can't find anything in the code causing different results for a beginner. Is there something I'm missing? -Actual-nh (talk) 00:57, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Source read and some quick wizmode testing confirms this. Beginner only affects identification when not wearing armor. It still destroys the armor of beginners. -- Qazmlpok (talk) 16:06, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
