Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 2768146" data-attributes="member: 2011">irdeggman directly stated that the player of a Wizard wearing armor might get a false sense of security and have the Wizard go fight. That implies that the people who would choose to armor a Wizard also have the potential to be disillusioned about the security of their Wizard. Implying that someone is disillusioned is pretty darn close to implying that they are inexperienced, stupid, or some other mentally inpaired state. Taking leather armor is not a bad strategy, it is a good strategy and implying that someone who does this strategy might make other tactical errors in the game is demeaning.Personally, the fact that you picked Leather Armor for your PC before anyone even suggested it implies to me that you would not be a player who gets "a false sense of security".Good for you. Stick to your guns. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> And, it is not a matter of just rolling well. Both good and bad rolls can and will happen in a game.It's a matter of playing the odds. Wearing leather armor 24 hours a day and preparing two offensive spells per day gives you better odds of surviving than either casting Mage Armor for one hour per day and preparing one offensive spell (unless you only ever get into one combat per day), or than preparing two offensive spells per day and having no leather armor.It's debatable as to whether the strategy of wearing leather armor all of the time and preparing 2 offensive spells is better than preparing 2 offensive spells and only wearing the armor once those spells are cast, but in either case here, you still are wearing the leather armor the majority of the time.</blockquote>
