Y'See, everyone immediately jumps to the Plate armour example, and yes, I have seen men doing acrobatics (of a sort) in Full Plate. Chainmail, on the other hand, is very constricting around the arms and shoulders. As for playing an instrument, most bards go for string instruments and they are definitely awkward if you can't hold them against the body. However, it seems that WoTC are going for the bards in armour idea as of 3.5, so who am I to argue?

Talking of Bards- is it your intention to have them use Arcane magic still? I ask as in 3e D&D they are able to cast healing spells despite being arcane casters. As for the whole casting in armour thing, I imagine that grand gestures are pretty difficult in armour, as is playing an instrument. For this reason alone I have always stuck with some sort of disadvantage to spellcasters wearing armour, be they divine or arcane.

Best quote I can remember came from a Vampire game. "DUCK!!! CHICKEN!!!" I'll leave it to your imaginations as to how and why

Yes, yes it is. MINE!!!!!! Mwuhahahah..cough..splutter(gotta cut that out)

How about "L.ife-support"?

One of the few times I got to play in a supers game we had a British flag-type named "Lionheart". As a minor member of the Royal Family he was allowed to wear the Three Lions standard of Great Britain.

I'll take an easy one: Iron. Magnetic powers. Tony V.
