Basilisk Scale Mail is created from the (nonpetrified) hide of any of the several species of basilisks.
To harvest the hide of a defeated basilisk, you must perform a DC 14 survival check to gather enough quality materials for one suit of scale mail, which consists of a coat and leggings, which are then covered with overlapping pieces of the scaly hide of the basilisk. The suit can include gauntlets, boots, and a soft leather cap if enough hide is harvested. It can be crafted by any leatherworker or artisan with proficiency with leatherworking, hide, and/or scale, using leatherworking tools for 450gp by a character who is proficient in the same, who has the time, money, and needed tools that use their downtime to craft it themselves.
Wearing this armor gives you a base AC of 14 plus a maximum bonus Dexterity modifier of 2, with no penalty to stealth checks as with typical scale mail.
This armor consists of a coat and leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish. The suit includes gauntlets.
