I have another question about armour. For some reason my spellsword has Heavy Armour as a major skill, so I've been using Orcish armour and am now Journeyman at it, getting towards Expert (I get hit a lot). I've just found a set of light Glass armour off some bloke I killed. Apparently glass is better and lighter, right? But I'm only Apprentice in Light Armour. So:

1. am I better off using my Orcish armour for protection because I'm a novice in light armour?

2. I have a high sneak skill. Will moving to glass armour affect my sneak because I'm a novice in glass?

3. I hear my encumbrance goes up if I am wearing armour I am not skilled in?

4. is it worth it for me changing to glass?

I have a high Strength so the extra weight of Orcish isn't a huge problem.
