Then again, I've only really noticed it in melee so it might be possible to kit up on tech gear and use only magic spells and not suffer penalties. It might however give opponents a bonus to damage or something. |
I tested some tech armours with a 100 magic aptitude character and there was no noticable increase in his critical failures when attacking. You shouldn't equip a mage with any tech armour before testing it first apparently some of thier AC's and R ratings are effected by aptitude wheras some are not.
