Magic casting penalties for Mystic Knight

[Nekira Sudacne]

This question might already have been posted before so sorry if this is repetitive

Does a Mystic Knight get any penalties for casting magic since he wears armor. In the book it says they start off with 70mdc armor and 50mdc helmet which in non enviromental .... I do not think they specify what the armor was made of

I remember reading somewhere that if a magic user uses armor then there would be penalties for casting.

Since the Mystic knight O.C.C is a fighter first and mage second would the penalty apply to him

No, they wear armor made from natural materials, giving no penalty, and then enchant them for extra protection. their spellcasting is unaffected, but ONLY if their wear their orders armor. if they try something else, they're on their own.

Well, the penalty rules are a relatively new addition; I believe they were added in RUE. They apply to metal and environmental armours, so if that's what you've got a mystic knight wearing, they're going to be effected by the penalties.

However, I ignore the penalty rules, as non-environmental MD armour is stupid. Get hit with anything with an area of effect, like a mini-missile, or dragon's breath, and you should be dead without totally containing MD armour.

Technically, they were added in the first Seige on Tolkeen book, modified in the book of magic, then modified again in RUE.

Incidentally, Seige on Tolkeen and Book of Magic have never been updated.
