Please post great wizard pics of spellcasters not dressed for a slumber party.

 

I agree with you !

I think part of the reason mages are in robes is due to balance. If a Mage is in plate mail why would you ever bother being a fighter? That just sounds too over powered.

The elf concept art looks nice and gives me hope there'll be at least some kind of hybrid mage/warrior.

 

Also perhaps a hood up/down function?

Wait, mages DON'T store all their magic inside giant floppy triangle hats?

I also believe that's the main reason for it in many games/rpg systems. Give a class certain powerful, AoE/other spells, and you need to balance them out with some weakness. Lack of consistent armor/protection is one of the easiest ways to do that.

 

That said, I personally don't care whether mages can wear giant plate armor with huge AC bonuses. That's going in towards the Fighter/Mage territory vs. just a mage, imo, which is sort of another debate. I just want to get away from the stereotyped wizard look. There are other types of clothing besides robes and tall hats.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
