Coran?

[ybnorml1]

so i understand why some would like Coran thief/fighter but because he is a fighter you can put armour on him but then he cant do thief business. what is the maximum thief armor ???

Studded leather. The best armour for thieves is the Shadow Armour you can buy in Beregost.

already put the Shadow armor on Imoen , she is a level 8 thief so i think i will stick with her for the candlekeep/chapter 6 section

Keep heavy armor on Coran until time to look for traps.

Shadow armor on Imoen, pfft. Even if you don't dual her as a mage, it's not like you're gonna put her and her 9 STR up front to go toe-to-toe with the bad guys. Give the shadow armor to Coran. There's some +2 studded leather somewhere for Imoen.

I agree, on Imoen is wasted, it's not even worth buying it for her. Give it to Coran.

I tend to put either Akheg Plate or the Shadow Armor on Coran. If I feel we're in a location where I need someone checking for traps or if I come across a locked container, then I can swap Coran's armor to the Shadow Armor. For Imoen, the Shadow Armor is good but Studded Leather +2 is usually just as good, since I have her using a shortbow a lot. If I dual class her to Mage, then Robes of Archmagi are a good option and provide decent AC, and the Mage Armor spell can do alright if someone else in the party is already using Archmagi robes.

Imoen will have good hit points due to her Constitution, but Coran can dual wield longswords pretty well if I'm looking to get everyone in melee with magic weapons against some enemies. Whereas Imoen can't get enough points in fighting styles to be as effective in melee, even though she can end up backstabbing pretty well.

I never used Coran so the Shadow leathers went to lmoen. But she was purely used as an archer and for traps and locks.

I find it mildly irksome that Stalkers can't wear the shadow armor (I like to play Stalkers).
