Which mage robe do you use? ( BG1 )
![sarevok57](https://forums.beamdog.com/uploads/userpics/PSET1P6B08C8/nZ96GPAY11YGB.png)
In the first Baldur's Gate it takes a while before you can get any of the arch magi robes, so I was wondering what people used in the mean time, In vanilla BG I would use Knave's robe, because of its bonus to AC vs slashing weapons and it gives a bonus save to save vs death, but now in the enhanced edition I always use traveller's robe because you can get it so much quicker, ( thanks Neera
) and it gives an AC bonus against missile weapons

In BG2 of course there is no contender to the Robe of Vecna.
The other robes are pretty much useless, as spells and potions can easily make up for any elemental resistances.
Other resistances...slashing etc are a joke.
It's called the Robe of Archmage for a reason.

I actually kind of favor wearing the fire and lightning robes, switching them about as the situation dictates, because getting fried or electrocuted seem to be more frequent dangers in the game than melee attacks, which you should be avoiding, anyway.
