Adventuring mages are all too rarely well armored, and often have to rely on the tougher party members to keep them safe of dangerous traps, monsters and anything else that might be out there. It's no surprise - few mages, with their limited spell selection, will specialize in defensive spells, and fewer still are willing to wear armor and risk a chance of spell failure. Mages' Armor is a solution to this problem.

Mages' Armor usually resembles a heavy robe or a long, loose-fitting coat. It is designed specifically with freedom of movement in mind, and is always masterwork. While it provides no armor bonus, it can be enchanted just as regular armor can.
