Re: Armor proposal 1

[Wright Frazier <khelek>]

so only mages wear armor?  Quicken is 4500xp for a mage, or 13.5K for
a non mage.  Not so expensive?  Heh...I disagree completely, that is
a hefty some of xp for a non-mage.  Further that only lasts for
I think 1d8r.

If you can swing 5 or 6 times, armor has nothing to do with the miss.
The miss will be the result of the 1 you just rolled.
