Armor is often important in CLOK due to its ability to reduce the damage you take, however your choice of armor can have consequences in your ability to do certain things. For example, armor may negatively affect your stealth ability, capability to maintain magical channels, or do manual labor. Different armor types may be stronger or weaker against certain damage types. The material the armor is made of effects its durability and how effective it is against nether-based attacks in the case of ferrous metals. You can use the armor command to list your currently worn armor, its state of repair and whether you are considered lightly-armored, moderately-armored or heavily armored.

Note: Armor skill does not reduce penalties to stealth, channeling. It does, however, slowly reduce the perception penalties starting at one thousand armor use, up to two thousand five hundred at the skill cap, but does not rid them entirely.
