[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1443429, member: 11987"] Anyone can wear any kind of armor they wish whether or not they have proficiency. Proficiency allows for a type of armor's armor check penalty to only apply to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Sleight of Hand, and Tumble checks rather than to attack rolls and to all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride. The question is if the application of a penalty to attack rolls and to all skill checks that involve moving should be considered a "limitation". Exactly what constitutes a "limitation" is not defined in the RAW but the benefits of armor proficiency look like overcoming a limitation IMO. It seems to me that since proficiency allows one to overcome what could be considered the normal limitations (i.e. penalties) of wearing armor it would be reasonable to allow mithral armors to count as one category lighter than normal for the purpose of overcoming those limitations associated with proficiency.
