The character is very familiar with armor; armorsmiths and famous armories. He can look at any suit of armor and; with a succeesful skill roll; tell if the armor was made by humans; elves; orcs; etc. If the armorsmith was relatively well known; the character might be able to name the specific armorsmith.
If the armor is magical; and the character rolls Success; he will know one property of the armor; plus one additional property for every 20 points above Success that he rolled. If he rolled Absolute Success; then he will know all properties; as well as any curses that might be associated with the armor. Partial Success with a magical armor; reveals only the race that made the armor and a little of the history. Near Success yields the specific armorsmith who crafted the armor and more of the history.
If the character has Maneuver in Armor skill at rank 3 or higher; he can determine the magical "plus" of the armor with any degree of success (partial; near; etc.) |
