Might and Magic 7: Armor Skills Guide

In Might and Magic 7, characters need the right armor skill to use different types of armor just like with weapons. You can wear leather, chain, and plate armor on your body, and hold shields in your left hand. Each piece of armor slows down how you can act again after doing something. But if you’re good with armor, you can cut down or even get rid of this slowdown.

The Dodging skill works if you’re not wearing any armor. But there’s a cool exception—Monks who are super great at Dodging can still use the skill even when they’re wearing leather armor.
