My mages NEVER wore robes... ever. There was always better armor available. I didn't like the idea of making a pretty party vs. an effective one... and why should I have to choose?
I agree with you about the robes as well, which is why I've advocated the use of the concept of illusion so as to equalize things. After all, the chainmail bikini wouldn't be very desirable if it were made useless by the assumption that it could only offer as much defense as such a garment would offer in real life (even with a few magical modifiers).
