Real bad form in my opinion. Take the feat and the hit if you want to be a mage and wear armor. It is cheesing as far as I am concerned if you don't.

Well, it is a good job I don't care if you think I am cheesing. I don't see anything wrong with emoting *unbuckles armour*, buffing then emoting *rebuckles armour* before entering a dungeon. I also don't feel bad about doing the same *in* a dungeon, as long as I do it somewhere "safe"

It is one thing to have this % applied when firing spells in combat, another out...

"I know, I'll keep my full plate on while I cast mage armour, because I am stupid.. duuuuh...."

Very silly comment, IMO.

I dont believe it is cheesing to pre-buff in "PJs" before hand. Cheesing is doing something that the system wont let you do, and its pretty easy to change cloths/armor before a battle.

Dont forget that you can't equip/unequip armor during a battle either.

That's the one I'm actually responsible for. Darthjee was the 5-10% one, Trueguardian is the one who objected to buffing nighties. I think it was my fault, up above, that it got messed up.

Like I said, my opinion (which doesn't mean much, and that is fine). With that said...."safe" in a dungeon is an oxymoron. You just killed some uglies, the "battle music" has stopped and as long as the group doesn't move it is over a predetermind engine limit spawn point it is "safe". Just doesn't seem right to me. My way isn't better or worse than yours, just different.

well, you can always take the armor off and risk having a spaw getting you unprepared

It doesn't have to be that way- on previously encountered servers I've seen some real nasty patrols used in dungeons and the like. I think it's much harder to balance the challenge level that way, though.
