Armor User is the skill related to the wearing of Template:L in Template:L.  Dwarves with this skill will be Template:L by heavy armor less than usual, in proportion to the skill level.  Armor user skill is gained when a Template:L wearing armor is successfully hit in combat, either Template:L or in the field, wrestling or with a Template:L.
The armor user skill reduces the effective weight of all items that are worn but not any items inside a worn object (like the items carried in a backpack). It has no effect at Novice level, but at <nolabel> level, it decreases the weight of worn items by 3/16ths. Each additional level of skill decreases the weight of items by another 1/16th, up to a maximum of 16/16ths if a creature is a legendary armor user.
