[QUOTE="Jhulae, post: 1434594, member: 16958"] Yes, you can cast mage armor on someone wearing armor. However, mage armor provides an 'armor bonus'. Armor provides an 'armor bonus'. Only the highest of those bonuses takes effect. Casting mage armor on someone in leather gives them a +4 armor bonus, with a maximum of +8 from dex. Casting Mage Armor on someone in plate mail gives them a +8 armor bonus with a maximum +1 dex bonus (yes, that's Plate Mail's normal stats). I didn't think shield was able to be cast on others. If so, the same precident would apply. However, except for tower and magic shields (or magic tower shields), the Shield spell is a better bonus. Note, once again, the bonuses do *not* stack. Only the highest one applies. Pax: :p darn same time posting.. ;) Oh, what Pax mentioned is a good point, too. If you cast MA on someone in plate, their touch vs incorporeal attacks would use MA's bonus, because it's higher than the plate mail's (which is +0 versus incorporeal touch attacks, like all other non-force armor).
