Unless you have some incredibly good armor just sitting around, it is usually better to use items or spells for armor and shield bonuses.When considering this tactic, keep a few things in mind: 1.) Mage types often have a low strength. Can you even move in full plate? 2.) There are a few varieties of metamagic feats in the UA and Miniatures handbook. If you use an alternative version, this may not be such a hassle.3.) You're giving up mobility to get armor. Which is more important to your mage: being able to avoid your enemies by moving or being able to withstand a hit with armor?4.) Can you get your hands on good armor? Or will the other PCs stake a claim to it?</blockquote>
