The action penalty is a percentile subtracted from your chance to perform a maneuver roll.

A maneuver may include anything from dodging elemental wave (often referred to as ewave) and boil earth attacks, to something as mundane as standing up.

The armor penalty is a relatively significant factor. For a character exactly trained for full plate at cap, it contributes a penalty a little bit above the difference between 1x and 2x PF. Overtraining in armor to reduce the action penalty and/or using Armored evasion can reduce the maneuver penalty by a fairly significant amount, however.
