Armor is worn to protect the wearer from harm. Most armor requires some training to wear properly.
Armor and Sleep
Most armor must be removed in order to sleep comfortably. Armor that has the comfortable trait ignores this effect. Creatures that sleep in their armor have their Attribute Resource Pools Regenerate at ½ the normal rate and recover from wounds in twice as much time.
Light Armor
Light armors and shields weigh less and restrict movement less, allowing the wearers less protection but more mobility. Most, if not all, light armor requires no training to wear properly.
