 ==Strategy==
 Armour skill provides a percent boost to AC and a percent reduction to encumbrance. Therefore, you don't need a specific amount of Armour skill to wear a given body armour. If you're playing a [[Fighter]], for instance, you'll want something heavy like [[plate armour]] - whether you have 3 Armour skill or 15 Armour skill.
 In the [[Early Game Character Building|early game]], the impact of the Armour skill is relatively small, so you may want to train offensive skills first.
