Armorsmith
Armorsmiths make metal armor and shields at a metalsmith’s forge or magma forge. Skilled smiths produce armor more quickly and at higher quality.
How it works
The source connects armor quality to its ability to block more damage, helping minimize combat casualties. This skill covers metal armor; leather armor is made by a leatherworker. It is a distinct specialization from weaponsmithing even though both use a forge.
