Each rank with this skill reduces the DEX penalty for armor or shield. Each rank reduces 1 point of penalties from armor or shield. For example, if you are rank 6 in this skill, and are wearing armor that has a DEX penalty of 5, and carrying a shield that has a DEX penalty of 2, the combined DEX penalty is -7 (5 + 2 = 7). Your rank with this skill reduces the penalty to only -1.
