I don't like the "armor hinders the movements" explanation precisely because it raises such questions. <br />I'm not totally convinced with the "iron interacts with the flow of magic" one because it has its own problems (is casting in bronze armor good, then?) , but at least , it is a little more coherent with legends and folklore.<br /><br />But to me, wizards are banned from using armor just because the litterary model is the robed, bespectacled , nerdy scholar.<br />If you want to play a warrior-sorcerer "Elric style", then choose to play an elf!porphyre77https://www.blogger.com/profile/07620350717226228078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-17061683820493931502013-10-01T13:16:46.812-07:002013-10-01T13:16:46.812-07:00I think the intent was to forbid scrolls in armor....I think the intent was to forbid scrolls in armor. <br /><br />Myself ? I allow casting in armor. It doesn't really unbalance anything. <br /><br />A caveat though, casters don't get training so I'll put a penalty on movement actions in anything but simple armor (a textile jack aka leather in game terms and mail which is dead simple to use) <br /><br />Also I do have a "gifts" system or sometimes allow hybrid classes. They can use better armor if desired. Its not pleasant to wear though. 5stonegameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694550968360550229noreply@blogger.com
