The foe regularly dons a suit of armour. This inflicts a -1 penalty to the foe's Acrobatics, Athletics, Stealth and any spellcasting skills it may have, but grants it Resistance 2 to Physical damage. Further, the creature is trained in and is able to take full advantage of a shield.

This feature can be taken a second time at Level 2 or higher, though not more than twice total. Double the skill penalty and Resistance granted by the first level.
