'BONE ARMOR USE', 'MYSTICAL ARMOR USE', 'STONE ARMOR USE' (2180)
Syntax: These skills are automatic.
See 'ARMOR DEFLECTION' for a broader discussion of protecting yourself
with armor. These skills also apply to shields.
Skill at Bone Armor Use represents the familiarity and training needed to
get the most protection out of armor made of bone and related materials.
(Dragon bone is a rarer, denser material not taught about in any known
guild.) Bone armor is often bulky, but some guilds prefer it for reasons
of availability or symbolism. This skill boosts the ability of a piece's
ARMOR CLASS to deflect a blow.
Skill at Mystical Armor Use is only taught to the mages and anti-paladins
who are most familiar with these exotic and rare pieces of armor. A clever
mage can learn to maximize the benefit of armor made from the raw elements
and energies available to the mysterious creators of such items. Mystical
armor is especially potent against non-physical attacks.
Skill at Stone Armor Use is only known among those dwarves and svirfnebli
who most commonly make use of such painfully heavy materials. While most
adventurers consider stone too heavy and difficult to craft for common use,
these cultures are familiar with the unique strength and durability of
stone. Stone armor is particularly effective in deflecting slashing and
blunt attacks.
