When Gary Gigax and crewcreated D&D, they did it to balance the classes, and used cheap excuses to justify it. 3rd edition rules are a lot better.

A lvl. 30 mage wouldn´t have much use for a studded leather+1 armor but for a lvl. 1 mage it would be very beneficial, even if there was a some 25% spell failure. It´s not that he does have many spells to fail to cast anyway. And any good robes at this point are either not accessable or very expensive.

Why should a spellcaster care wether they can wear armor or not: they still slay everything in their path, plate mail or not.
And although 3rd-edition-rules allow spellcasters to wear armor with a spellcasting failure percentage, all these armors look *SO* last-year, so why would any self-respecting sorcerer wanna wear them in the first place? Hmmm?

Just to make some things clear: you don't understand what classes are correctly. Class is not something that a character *must* be. It is something that he *chooses* to be. If I want to be a mage, I would spend my life studying dusty books, reading ancient parchments and performing forgotten rituals (I like those epithets
![]() If I were a mage, who was taught how to fight with a sword by my father, I would be a fighter/mage, not a mage. Why would anyone learn skills he doesn't want or need to know? (Well, it doesn't work like this in real life, but let's just neglect that fact ![]() Isn't it obvious? Why would it be some cheap explanation? It is almost perfectly logical. The only objection I can find is that this works only for humans, because only they can dual-class.
