You improve the AR of armour by 1 in all three physical categories, and give it AR1 against energy. Current condition of armour increases by 6. Maximum condition of armour can be increased by 3. Shield increases missile deflect by 1. 'Peerless'

You have a real talent for improving armour, beyond what a normal smith can craft: You are an artist. The armour you make only benefits someone with the same build, and within 3% of height and weight. Each level of ability supersedes the last. They do not stack. Given a 8 hours at a forge with appropriate tools; armour gains the Armoursmith (1, 2, 3) condition denoted with AS2 etc. Magical armour requires magical tools to improve.

If you do not have a forge, but have access to appropriate tools (hammer, anvil etc) then the work takes twice as long to complete. This does not need to be in a single uninterrupted session. Armoursmiths can also craft shields of higher quality.
