Armor Hindrance

Armor Hindrance is a chance for a character to experience negative rerolls in combat and various other activities, based on the armor they're wearing. The Armor Use skill goes toward overcoming these skill checks. The greater the degree of failure against a check, the greater the penalty to the associated rolls.

The more armor worn, the greater the skill check required to overcome these penalties. Different types of armor contribute different amounts to the check. For instance, a metal breastplate would add much more to the required check than a soft leather cuirass.

The armor and combat commands display a character's current Armor Hindrance check level and the skill roll they would make against it.
