Even though it is an old resurrect.Type       Armor       Speed Action  Penalty per effortLight          +1           1Medium      +2           2Heavy        +3           3There is the free base ability that comes with each character type that is the equivalent to a proficiency.  Sadly they named it the same as the Tier abilities that give you a bonus with one exception, it specifies the armor type.So Practiced with XXXX armor gives no bonus it just means you can use it with the normal penalties from the table above.If you are not Practiced with XXXX armor it causes an extra point of speed penalty per effort.The ability you get from Tier options called "Practiced with Armor" essentially reduces those penalties by one for any armor type and automatically makes you proficient in all armor types.ie. If you ar a warrior that starts with Practiced with all armors and you wear a medium armor: Your speed penalty is 2.  An adept with the same armor has a 3 armor penalty (2 from the armor and 1 from the lack of practices in medium armor).ie2. If that same warrior and adept gain the Practiced in Armor ability (from whatever source) then the warrior's penalty in medium armor is 1 and so is the Adept (because the ability also gives the adept Practiced with All armor, that only overlaps for the Warrior)</blockquote>
