kvabbe Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi folks, first, sry for bad english. I'm new in this game and rolling a battlemage, love it, but I wondering a bit about the armor stuff, is it so that I should not use armor at all as a battlemage? I did read wrong in the beginning, and have walked some vlvs with heavy armor, and thinks it works very well, but what minus does that give my magic actually? CAn't see it on the characther sheet as far I have noticed. And would u recomand me to stop using armor, or maybe change to light armor instead of the heavy one... Have noticed on tesnexus that ppl are making some light armors for mages, so will those work okay, or best stay away from all armor? Sorry if I'm repeating someone's question that alrdy answered, did search around in the forum and could not find any answers on my question at that time. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I read somewhere that if your character's major skill in light armor then use light armor vice versa for heavy armor. If your character major in light armor and you use heavy armor then it will have some kind of affect on magic casting. If your character on the other hand if your character doesn't major in either armor then use regular clothes. Hope that helps you in some way or another.

The reason is using all pieces of a same type enhances the skill advance speed and with the perks comes advantages that goes off if just one piece is the wrong type. For example: a high skilled heavy armor user will have it's encumbrance cut by half (the height of the armor, I mean)... but strangely, if (s)he puts a light helm it may be enough to plant him/her in the ground immobilized by the 'height'... yes, so strange... Personally I tend to go for light armor (or no armor at all) since almost unavoidably my chars are the magical kind, that's not Oblivion magic is restrained by heavy armors, but strength plays a huge role in this choice, as do speed and agility. Besides, I have used the KCAS (Kobu's Character Advancement System) for so long I almost don't know the vanilla leveling anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvabbe Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thank u very much for u'r replays guys:-) For an ex "caster" in other games, I have started it again, and it is ok to do something that is not "ment" for the class while lvling, but in the end, u wan't it perfect, so why not do it the way it is ment to be done all the way:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
