How it plays
Magic Armour absorbs 1K3+1 wounds (3 on average) for the character it is cast on, for a cost of just 1. It doesn't stop wounds paid as spell costs, or spells that don't wound directly, such as Charm. Cast it on a front-rank character before a hard fight.
- Costs 1 wound of the caster's own strength, and the spell can't be cast if that would kill the caster.
- Can be cast at any point in play, though a few spells only help in one situation (rule 10.6).
- Absorbs 3 wounds on average before the armour is used up.
Figures come straight from the rulebook tables and rules, before any magic items or bonuses.
