Scales is one of the 35 possible corruptions that can be inflicted on the PC. It provides a very nice PV increase, but significantly decreases Dexterity.
General[]
Most likely keepable, especially if you can cover the Dexterity loss with moss of mareilon. In the late game, some characters that depend on high Dexterity (e.g. using a lot of missiles or whips) might want to remove it. Early on, 8 PV significantly improves early game survival, making scales one of the better corruptions for a Chaos Knight to start with.
