Well Dawnguard has been out for a while now (lol) so has anyone figured out whether or not the Mage Armor perk applies to the Vampire Lord form?

That is... can Ebony Flesh/Dragonhide etc be casted prior to transformation and end up being carried over the the transformed state just as can be done for Werewolf transformations?

works like that with werewolf i believe why not VL?

It working with Werewolf form isn't indicative of anything though. Werewolves also end up naked post-transformation, whereas Vampire Lords don't. There's no real reason that Mage Armor HAS to work with the VL transformation just because it's a transformation.

i think it does work

Anybody sure on this one yet?

The frost/fire/lightning cloaks carry over to VL form, so I imagine the flesh spells do too.
