Should my caster be wearing this ring mail?
I'm playing a demonspawn wizard (mostly summoning) and have been walking around for quite some while now with the "+9 ring mail of the Tuna {rF- Int+4 Dex+7}". It gives me a respectable armour class, and the Int bonus helps to off-set any spell failure it could give me. (All my spells have an excellent success rate at the moment.) Still, I continue to agonise over whether to use it or not. It just seems bad to have a caster walking around in ring mail. Obviously, the fire vulnerability sucks too, even though I'm cancelling it with a pair of boots. I've got some other armour options, including a +2 robe of fire resistance and the +1 leather armour of Xiochi {rElec rN+}, which gives me 10 AC less but makes my resistances look a lot better. Any advice?
