should i be worried that my plate armour makes me dumb as a bag of rocks?

No, unless you are studying magery.

Actually,If you do study magery,its recomended to put Plate armour.
because when you have lower Int,you'r gains of Int will be alot more faster .
For example if you have with no armour 60 Int,and prcatice Magery,you might have more mana to train.
But if you put on Plate on,then you got lets say 30 Int?
And you train Magery with it,You will have less mana,BUT will gain more often Int.
