	Increasing one's skill in any given armor skill decreases the maneuvering hindrance and stealth hindrance of worn armor of that type. There is a hefty penalty to mixing armor types, ~~but~~ Paladins ~~are~~ ~~may~~ ~~mix~~ ~~all~~ ~~four~~ armor ~~types~~ ~~without~~ ~~penalty~~ ~~due~~ to an ~~ability~~ ~~given~~ by ~~the~~ ~~guild~~ ~~upon~~ ~~reaching~~ ~~the~~ ~~30th~~ ~~circle~~. No other guild is capable of reducing this penalty.		Increasing one's skill in any given armor skill decreases the maneuvering hindrance and stealth hindrance of worn armor of that type. There is a hefty penalty to mixing armor types that only Paladins (the only guild that is armor primary) learn an ability every 10 circles, up through 40th, which permits one additional kind of armor to be worn without mix penalty, until all four types may be worn without penalty. No other guild is capable of reducing this penalty.

	Light armor is common for stealth based guilds, while chain armor is common for others. Many people mix multiple types (sometimes all four), despite the penalties to evasion and stealth, in search of maximizing TDP gain through the additional armor ranks.

 ==Hindrance==
-Each piece of armor contributes to your overall hindrance.  This contribution is determined by the particular piece's base hindrance modified by your ranks in using that type of armor.
+Wearing armor makes it more difficult for you to move in combat. This translates into a defensive penalty, primarily to evasion, based on your total level of hinderance. Each piece of armor contributes to your overall hindrance.  This contribution is determined by the particular piece's base hindrance (as seen via appraisal) which is reduced by your ranks in using that type of armor. It is impossible to reduce armor hinderance to zero, but high ranks in the corresponding armor skill can significantly reduce the defensive penalty you receive. Armor primary guilds (Paladins) can reduce armor hinderance further than armor secondary guilds who can reduce hinderance further than armor tertiary guilds.

	If you ~~are~~ ~~wearing~~ ~~armor~~ of ~~more~~ ~~than~~ ~~one~~ ~~type~~, you will receive an additional "mixing penalty". That means your overall maneuvering hindrance will be greater than ~~you~~ ~~would~~ ~~expect~~ if ~~you~~ ~~were~~ ~~wearing~~ ~~identical~~ ~~pieces~~ of ~~the~~ ~~same~~ ~~type~~ of ~~armor~~. There is no armor mixing penalty to stealth hindrance.		If you wear multiple types of armor at once, you can learn multiple armor skills at the same time. However, you will receive an additional "mixing penalty" for each additional type of armor you wear. That means your overall maneuvering hindrance will be greater than the sum of all pieces of armor. Wearing all four types of armor simultaneously will impose a significant penalty and is not recommended for training at level. There is no armor mixing penalty to stealth hindrance.

	Paladins can negate the mixing penalty. "Esentially, at 20th circle a paladin gets to ignore 1 category in the calcs, at 30th 2 and at 50th ignore 3. This means that if you have armor on from all 4 categories at 30th you'll only get the penalty for 2 and at 50th there will be no penalty since it will ignore 3 of them and assume you are only wearing 1 type." ~ GM [[Oolan]]		Paladins can negate the mixing penalty.
