Hello Wizard peoples... I have a lowbie wizard I am playing around with and am wondering what the consensus is on armor. Do Wizards stop at full (AsG 6) or do they go all the way to double (AsG 8) and suffer the 4% hindrance?
For magus / war mage types - even brig isn't too bad, and can be useful given the shortage of 'high quality' upper-end doubles.
Or, a new possibility - robes, scrolls with Iron Skin, 101 ranks ML:Trans, and a small enhancive. All the benefits of brig (plus whatever the robes hold) and none of the hindrance.
And if you find yourself wanting to cast a bunch of miscellaneous spells but find the armor getting in the way, remember to Create Item/420 with them. Rub/wave/tap are not subject to armor hindrance, and (depending on your spell training/skill set) you may find your Item Use skills giving you excellent results versus casting.

Oh. My. Bloody. God.
What a GREAT idea for a Bloodriven Village shop. Pretty robes, self-knowledge Iron Skin/1202 off the shelf. Three ranks of unlock certs, +5 & +10 more [net 15] & +15 more [net 30] ranks of ML:Transformation.
Thanks for all the replies. I ended up getting my lil lowbie wiz some Full Leather (AsG 6) from DR, 5x and +5 weighting. Should be a good set for him for awhile. :)

Heh, you could wear them through cap.
I stopped being concerned about DS around 20-ish, scrolls were taking care of that. It's them thar maneuvers...
