An iron wizard is a wizard in armor.

Class Abilities

This archetype has all normal class abilities, except as noted.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

An iron wizard is proficient with all simple weapons. An iron wizard is also proficient with light and medium armor. He can cast wizard spells while wearing light or medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, an iron wizard wearing heavy armor or a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass iron wizard still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.

Bonded Armor (Ex)

An iron wizard's familiar shares in any armor proficiencies the iron wizard has. An iron wizard can select a part of an suit of armor as a bonded object (usually a gorget or bracer). This part can be moved from one set of armor to another, making each set of armor count as a bonded object. If a bonded suit of armor is completely destroyed, the bonded armor part is also destroyed. This replaces arcane school.

Heavy Armor (Ex)

At 8th level, an iron wizard gains proficiency with heavy armor. An iron wizard can cast wizard spells while wearing heavy armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, an iron wizard using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component.
