Armor check penalty
From Talus Wiki
(Redirected from Armor check)
Armor Check Penalty: Any armor heavier than leather hurts a character’s ability to use some skills. An armor check penalty number is the penalty that applies to Hide, Move Silently, and Tumble checks by a character wearing a certain kind of armor. A character’s encumbrance (the amount of gear carried, including armor) may also apply an armor check penalty.
Shields: If a character is wearing armor and using a shield, both armor check penalties apply.
