Armor and Magic

From Chronicles

The following is now the House rules/policy for Magic use while wearing Body Armor.

As long as a mage is only in Standard Class body armor he/she suffers no I'll effects from the armor he is wearing, even if it is EBA.

If a mage is wearing, Heavy Class body armor then there is too much material between him and the outside world to focus the required energy to cast a spell. As well as too much 'stuff' to correctly allow yourself to gesture or vocalize to cast the spell.

Classes of Armor: Standard Up to 80 MDC (Can Include both Light and Medium) Heavy 81 and over.

NOTE: If the description of the Armor (reguardless of class) describes the extensive use of metal it is considered Heavy Armor. Unless TW modified or Magic. (See Note #2 for Specifics)

NOTE 2: If the suit of armor has two or more Techno-Wizard modifications, or was specially designed for a mage to wear then the armor is considered Standard Class. This is due to magical link that is created while modifying the body armor. This only applies to Body Armor, and does not apply to Power Armor or Robot Armor.
