The 'forge armor' skill allows metal ingots to be made into pieces of wearable armor at forges.
Only certain metals and alloys can be made into armor. Soft metals such as lead, tin or gold make poor armor. More difficult to work metals like adamantine will yield a higher ac than softer metals such as brass.
Forged armors are tougher than leather, but are costly to produce and have less room for improvement and upgrades. They also tend to be much heavier.
Unlike most other kinds of armor, forged armor is assembled from smaller components such as lames, sheets, rondels and links. The 'forge assemble list armor' command will list the kinds of armor you know how to assemble.
