Crystal armour

[Keezheekoni]

Here is my passionate plea for making crystalline armour available to mages. The crystal warriors were created by mages (not plural) out of wind and water from what I am aware of. If a mage can create this army of creatures it makes sense that he could wear the armour that was made from the magic. Also it would look neat. Perhaps some mage armour otherwise?

There are lots of arguments here but I feel that one of the strongest is this: if crystal armour was suitable for mages it would have to give very poor AC, because that is the restriction of mages - they cannot have a good AC. This would make tha armour useless to everyone else.

The crystal warriors are formed from a very weird spell which creates a type of solidified magic. If we had a more intelligent codebase I'd probably allow everyone to wear the armour and just make sure that it affected your casting badly. But we can't do that so to keep from unbalancing the game, we prevent mages from wearing it, that's just how it has to be.

Is it because of its magic that crystal armour is unrepairable?

[Ruan]

Yes - it is made of magic, and Jerrek is bad enough with real materials..!

You're *censored* right he bad at it his job.

A mage smith would be nice *wink*

Ahh I see . Magic smithies seems like a good idea too... wait for the elves!

because that is the restriction of mages - they cannot have a good AC

Now I see how it is.
