Nah, that wasn't really directed at you. I've actually been a heavily fortified mage at one point, believe it or not, though. Try not wearing body armor and using bracers and gloves for your AC instead. ;]

If you've ever played D&D, you'll know that mages don't typically wear armor because of the penalties involved. Instead, they use bracers for armor and run around spouting off spells from a distance.
