40d:Armor
Armor is the protection your dwarves wear, to keep them alive longer. They come in several types, from simple clothes to shell, bone, leather, chainmail and plate.
Depending on the type, a certain dwarf with certain skills are needed to make the armor, as well as the appropriate materials. While clothes aren't necessarily armor, they do offer a little protection. Shell and bone armors are made by a bonecrafter at a craftsdwarf's workshop. Chainmail and plate are made by a blacksmith at a metalsmith's forge, and the type of metal used affects their performance. Leather armors are made at a leather works by a leatherworker.
