yeah for an assassin to put on full plate mail would certainly be great but there's just one problem.. it's not possible! thieves cannot wear greater than studded leather..

I'm using maevar's shadow armor and that'll have to do for now..

Aeger's hide is HIDE armor, and greatly reduces your thieving skills across the board.

alas, you would think so, but i checked the item out and there are no penalties to skills.

technically speaking, all armor has negative modifiers to skills but bioware didnt implement it in the game despite putting that table on pg 233.
