Casting in Heavy Armor
The two sorts of questions that this introduces me to are, "I found this great spell I want to cast, what the heaviest armor I can expect to cast it in?" and, "I found this great armour, what the highest level spell I can expect to cast in it?"
As I understand it, STR and wizardry are going to be the most important factors in determining the XP cost of getting a spell to low failure rates in armor. Are there rules of thumb that you use to answer these questions, or is the situation too complex to distill into bullet points?
