Mage and Armour

armour. A kindly GM tossed me a newbie bag, I know she could tell by
looking that I was a mage and it contained some cool blue GM leather
armour. I put it on and all seems normal.

Mages can wear leather arnmour without penaltys, it doesnt give you much armour rate anyway.

Many armour types affect meditation rates - stick to non-studded leather and
you'll be fine. As a mage, you'll want to keep at arms length from monsters
anyway :-)

Mages can wear any armor they want, but metal armor slows or prevents
meditation (regaining Mana). Depending on your playstyle this may oy
may not be a problem.

nope.. *ANY* kind of NON plain leather armor....

Incorrect, any armor containing *metal* prevents RA from working. It
does not work with studded, but works just fine with plain leather.

tried this, did the rules change, or was I just mistaken?

meditation slightly. Meditation went from something like 20 points back in
16 seconds w/o the armor to 20 points back in 18 seconds with it. Adding the
leather pants changed it dramatically. Apparently much past 6 AR really
affects the rate.

Standard leather armour gives no med penalty at all. A studded suit
gives %20 reduction. Tested it extensively when the system was first
brought in. I'll have to test it again.
