Armor (Skyrim)



Armor is type of apparel found in. When worn, armor increases a character's armor rating and thus helps to reduce the overall damage inflicted from physical attacks. In addition to offering protection from physical attacks, armor can be enchanted to grant additional protection, to bolster certain skills, or to increase various stats, such as Stamina or Health.

Types
There are two types of armor available, Heavy Armor and Light Armor, both with their own skill tree and associated perks. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. With use of the Steed Stone you can negate the disadvantages of heavy armor.
