Give me one (1) reason why wizards and casters don't just wear chainmail robes

youtube.com/watch?v=QqEesFaboV4

A chainmail hauberk weighs 20-30lbs. Now imagine a big robe made of that shit. You're talking about at least 40lbs of metal. Might as well wear a suit of plate armor.

You don't carry it all on your back it's spread evenly on your body

don't link me these snuff videos you weirdo

You mean your shoulders and neck..

That makes absolutely no sense unless the person is laying down. You got your one (1) reason, go put yourself in an oven.

Fan service, people who play RPGs are lonely and horny.

Thats fuck all weight for something you wear.

Go to the gym loser.

This
It is not wise to dab on fools without the swag on point

WHY
ARE
WOMEN
SUCH
WHORES???

That's why you wear magic chainmail, retard

Metals restrict the wearer from performing the arcane symbolic hand and arm gestures they need to do in order to cast spells, plus can also interfere with the flow of magic, as in it does not conduct the energy the same way cloth like wizard robes do.

Obviously.
Have you ever played D&D?

And how would a fucking bookworm wizard have the constitution to wear and walk around in battle armor?

>men workout with short shorts and no tops on beaches
>damn bro nice muscles
>woman wear clothing that covers everything
>WHAT A SLUT
sounds like you're just gay bro

She wears that shit for mad cash, my nigga.
The real question is who the fuck actually buys the retarded overpriced clothing these people peddle?

The gym is for faggots. I run 5 miles in a 50lb weighted vest 5 days a week. Walking around with 40lbs of shitty chain armor all day isn't practical, especially when you can just shoot fire at anyone who gets close.

You buy it too. Fashion shows and endorsements may show the over the top designs but everything you wear, even your generic t shirts, are from the same design principles and people who make that shit.

So unless you wear burlap sacks you made yourself you're just as much a consumer faggot.

I'll be a wizard in 3 months, bros.

>a chainmail robe is impractical!
>not just wearing regular ass chainmail
Are you retarded, user?

>Try to cast lightning magic
>chainmail robe acts as a Faraday cage and shocks the shit out of you

Sure you do faggot. This is why you're still a virgin.

>everyone who said balance or some variation of "i-i-it screws up their casting!!"
bullshit excuses, magic is broken as fuck and these are lazy ways to make mages less busted so everyone else has a chance

faraday cages protect what's inside you moron

I'm sorry sir I didn't fully understand the nature of a faraday cage but just wanted to flex that I knew the name

>thats not what a Faraday cage does

But you didn't know the name. You just knew it WAS a name.

Projecting to save face much. Not working newfag.

Because they're weak shits who can barely lift a staff let alone wear 20lbs of metal

It's not him that needs to go to the gym, it's the 120 year old wizard that OP is saying should wear chainmail. Wizards and mages usually don't wear armor for a few reasons, foremost because they're usually pasty bookworms with no muscles. The physically stronger ones become battlemages. Of course this is all lore dependent because in some systems heavy armor interferes with magic (either movement or channeling magic itself) so battlemages may not be possible.

kill yourself and your alcoholic dad

why is that a bullshit excuse though

D&D shitty lore

Chainmail is heavy. Wizards don't work out their bodies enough to efficiently weild that kind of armor.

b-b-but my dad isn't the alcoholic it (was) my mom!

My headcanon was always:
>Spend whole life dedicated to being a fucking nerd
>Absolutely no muscles
Also the idea is to magic things to death BEFORE they stab you

this is rpg logic retard. metal is weak to electricity

Thats just kinda how its always been, even older legends of wizards had them in robes.
