Optional: Iron Armor

While iron causes damage to spellcasters who use magic while wearing it, little has been said of the benefits of wearing iron when negating magic. Many an Archeon uses iron armor to displace magic cast against them.

Iron gives it wearer Spell Resistance per Iron Armor Spell Resistance Chart, but also doubles the weight of the armor and lowers Max DEX bonus.

Full Plate +3 x2 0
Half-Plate +2 x2 -1
Breastplate +1 x2 +2
Chainmail +1 x2 +1
Heavy Iron Shield +1 x2 –

Steel armor does not negate magic in this way at all..
