Are there any regulations on who can carry what kind of magic items? I know that only wizards can carry arcane items, but are there any other restrictions? Can I equip my skink priest with an enchanted shield for 5 pts to bump its armour save to 4+?
You can only equip characters with magic armor, if they can normaly take regular mundane armor. (usualy mages don't get armor, unless you are wariors of chaos)
