SKILL : Armor (light,medium,heavy), proficiency

Basics

  Beyond the basic fact that armor is a protective item that you can
  wear, such as platemail, chain armor, or a robe, there are also four
  skills associated with armors:  light, medium, heavy, then proficiency.

  Training in light armor allows you to wear most armors.

  Training in medium armor allows you to wear armors that provide better
  protection

  Training in heavy armor allows you to wear armors that provide the best
  protection for your level.

  If you cannot wear an armor for one of the above reasons, it will
  tell you and you can try again.

  Only main body armors and shields are currently affected by this restriction.
  (This includes the subcategories for breastplates and greaves)

  The armor.proficiency skill grants the player bonuses to their
  resistances when wearing body armors, breastplates, and greaves.
