The Armor Use skill is used to reduce the effects of wearing armor on one's actions, including attacking roundtime, spell casting hinderance, and maneuver hinderance. Depending on the armor, specific amounts of training are required to train off the hinderances of the armor, and certain hinderances can never be fully trained off. For detailed information, see the article on armor.
