Mage Armor

[Pegasos989]

Granted, even a 5% chance of arcane spell failure would be quite handy.

How about a +1 twilight thistledown mithral breastplate? +6 armor, -2 armor check, max Dex +5, no arcane spell failure, 15 lbs. 8,600 gp.

Personally, as a mage, I'd suck the armor check and the cost just for that nice armor bonus. And the fact I can cast any of my spells? Even better.

What is the benefit of that over casting greater mage armor (third level spell, +6 armor, -0 armor check, max dex +x, no arcane spell failure, 0 lbs. and was it like 25gp per casting?)?

Remember that for unproficient character, ACP comes to ranged touch attack rolls too!
