[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8207653, member: 2209"] Page 64 of the PH Revised under benefits of multiclassing where it talks about multiclassing wizards and armor: "Wizard: A multi-classed wizard can freely combine the powers of the wizard with any other class allowed, although [B]the wearing of armor is restricted. Elves wearing elven chain can cast spells in armor, as magic is part of the nature of elves. [/B]However, elven chain is extremely rare and can never be purchased. It must be given, found, or won." The other relevant places would be under the wizard (page 42) and bard (page 58) classes for the explicit general prohibitions on casting in armor, and on the entry for elven chain on page 241 in the revised DMG "Elven Chain Mail: This is magical armor so fine and light that it can be worn under normal clothing without revealing its presence. Its lightness and flexibility allow even [B]bards and thieves[/B] to [B]use it with[/B] [B]few restrictions[/B] (see Chapter 3 in the PHB). [B]Elven fighter/mages use it without restriction.[/B] However, it is rarely sized to fit anyone other than an elf or a half-elf." I have not found them. The closest was that DMG quote which did not seem a clear contradiction to me. I am open to seeing such, but a search on the PDFs of the revised 2e PH and DMG for "elven chain" does not show any. I have not however checked my hardcopy of the unrevised 2e PH and I never owned the unrevised 2e DMG. Rules things can be contradictory or ambiguous or inconsistent, particularly in different sources, but this seems clearly stated in places that make sense to look in the core rulebooks. [/QUOTE]
