At low level, sure. Buy some leather armor and use it. Not at higher levels.And at 12th level and beyond with the Extend feat, Inertial Armor could be up over 24 hours straight (except when Dispelled) from one manifestation. You manifest it, you go to bed, the next morning you have all of your PP back and you are also "armored up". At 16th level, it lasts for 32 hours and even if you run out of PP on a given day, Extend Inertial Armor lasts long enough so that you can manifest it on the second morning.</blockquote>
