Armour Proficiency - Light

Although unable to fully protect against a machine gun light amour can protect against flying shrapnel and other dangers on the battlefield.

Benefit: When a character wears a type of armour with which he or she is proficient, the character gets to add the armour’s equipment bonus to his or her Defence. Also, the armour check penalty applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, and Tumble checks.

Normal: A character who wears armour with which he or she is not proficient adds only the armour’s non-proficient equipment bonus to his or her Defence. Also, he or she suffers its armour check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving.
