[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8351852, member: 18"] In 2E, we had two rules with magic armour: 1) Once identified, you could make it resize itself within reason, whereas normal armour had to be fitted to an individual - it was still sometimes specific to like gnome/halfling, dwarf, elf/human, etc. depending on the whim of the DM when he wrote it up, or sometimes would resize to any humanoid. It would thus also likely be more comfortable than "real" armour (which would be HUGE if you were wearing it all day). 2) Magic armour didn't require any maintenance beyond basic scrubbing to remove substances, and they'd come off fairly easily (i.e. blood etc.). Like, magic leather wouldn't stain or be harmed by oils, magic chain would never rust (so no carrying a barrel of oil/sand to maintain it). This would also mean it was harder for it to smell or get sweaty/uncomfortable or w/e, so it would be easy to justify an NPC as wanting to wear it because of that (esp. if they can't cast Prestidigitation). It never came up but personally as a DM I always thought it'd be very easy to repair with simple magic, too, or might even mend tears/breaks/bends overnight. [/QUOTE]
