The wizard robes, when you can find them, are +4. And yes, Oomphaz can wear robes.

But remember that for armor, +2 mean plus 20% of the protection. Plate +2 is worth 4.8AC, I think, instead of 4. Robes +2 are worth .72AC instead of .6 (or whatever ridiculously low number they have).

Check it out when you bless them with armor... they don't really boost you up.

If you bless a ring or cuff, however, it's +1AC. So a silver ring +12 Armor is +12AC... a set of plate +12 armor is only worth 8.8AC, or 4.8 more than you started with.

Shield skill is pretty much useless. Shield doesn't factor into AC, and only affects your ability to parry. Later on, you'll prefer to have another weapon in that hand (when you get second strike) or a bow (when you've got fletchery).
