For some reason I cannot take off my blessed +1 ring mail I started the game with. It just says "You can't take that off". I found a better piece of armor that provides a better AC and is much lighter and I would very much like to equip it. What's causing this?

You may be wearing something over top of that armor that would prevent it from being removed, such as a cloak.

3Wearing any cloak, regardless of BUC status, prevents you from removing body armor. You must remove the cloak first. Feb 7, 2011 at 21:02

Shift-A
, you can remove armor out from underneath cloaks without taking off the cloak first. I can't remember whether this is classified as a bug or not, though.– MikeyBFeb 7, 2011 at 21:06 -
@MikeyB: Oh wow. I never even thought of that. The dev team really does think of everything. Thanks! Feb 7, 2011 at 21:06

3@MikeyB How does this factor in with cursed cloaks?– user56Feb 7, 2011 at 21:31

1If you have a cursed item over a non-cursed item I believe you have to deal with the curse before you can remove the items under it. (at least as I recall from playing Nethack over the years) Feb 7, 2011 at 23:38
