Can mage armor be cast at higher level?

Mage Armor becomes more viable at higher levels because you have more slots to spare. In the low levels, many Wizards will cast Mage Armor, and cast Shield when necessary, and just rely on cantrips for the rest of their casting.

Does Mage Armour count as Armour?

It does not count as armor, and it also does not work with unarmored defense. You can only use one way to calculate your AC. Mage Armor lets you calculate it as 13 + Dex mod.

Do Shields affect mage armor?

You will no longer get the benefits of mage armor if you wear any kind of armor. The only exception to this rule is shields. Wielding a shield does not negate the effects. You receive the benefit of this perk along with the usual benefits of a shield.

Does Mage Armor affect unarmored defense?

Unarmored Defense doesn’t work with mage armor.

How much AC does Mage Armor add?

Mage Armour means your base AC becomes 13 + dexterity, and the dex bonus is +3.

Does Mage Armor stack with natural armor?

No, Mage Armor and Natural Armor do not stack.

Does Mage Armor stack with normal armor Pathfinder?

In Pathfinder, bonuses of the same type do not stack. Mage Armor and regular armor (full plate, etc.) both provide an armor bonus, so they do not stack. This means that Shield and Mage Armor do stack, because they provide bonuses of different types — Mage Armor grants an armor bonus and Shield grants a shield bonus.

Can monks use bracers of armor?

Although not explicitly stated, bracers of armor don’t interfere with a monk’s special abilities, the armor bonus coming as it does from a pair of magic armbands. (The DMG’s NPC monks (118-9) even have bracers and don’t suffer because of them, for example.)

What happens if a monk wears armor?

Monks normally don’t wear armour, because it stops them using their martial arts ability. This enables them to make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, use the monk damage die for their level, and use dexterity for their unarmed strikes and non finesse monk weapon attacks.
