Non Magical Armor

Is there any advantage or disadvantage when it comes to tanking, with magical armor?

Not that I know of? But a Magical weapon, now that is a different story. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I could be mistaken, but I believe for players magic items are just those that have stats other than or I addition to ac.

There are mundane armours with stats and magic without so that can't be it.

I always wondered if maybe mobs with magic attacks ignored AC from non-magic armour... but I never tested it myself nor seen anyone test it. Although I think it would be a cool idea I suspect whether armour is magic or not makes no difference in the game.

This is true, not all magical items have stats. As a monk you'll find it's difficult to find inexpensive, lightweight boots with stats (emphasis on inexpensive and lightweight, plenty of magic boots that weigh 2-3 stones that are dirt cheap[You must be logged in to view images.

Also lets not forget warriors and rangers would also need magical boots to kick the likes of ghouls, wisps, werewolves etc

Pretty much Wolf Fur slippers or Wu's Fighting Slippers are your only option in the sub 1.0 wt category. Or you can kill Hoshkar.

If you're a large race you can slam mobs that require magic to hit if your shoulders are magic. If you're a class that can kick you can kick mobs that require magic to hit if your boots are magic. I can't think of a single other case where it matters whether the armor you are wearing is tagged MAGIC or not.

Kaevs on point.

Once you get up there, only a few pieces of armor aren't magic.

Kylong boots are great resist boots on red but are a poor choice for Iksar warriors for thst reason.
