Weapon and armour proficiency skills

I have done a search and cannot find what they actually do anywhere (I hope I have not just missed it).

Could anyone who has taken them please post saying what weapon and armour proficiencies do with each level taken?

If a forum mod could update Pyrizzle's second post on this thread (http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1498) with the details, would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks :)

Many thanks Fel :)

If a moderator finds it appropriate to put this on the page I mentioned initially, this would be appreciated (the requirements are already on there, just not the benefits).

+1

Took me a while to find this information, as there are many topic on it, but most say that Light armor is better than heavy, or heavy costs too much, and contain no actual descriptions of the skills.

So what's the bonus for weapon proficiency of pole arm? I am curious because the dev decided spears don't get AC. At least the ones I found in Crossglen and Vilegard.

Yes, the scythe is a pole weapon.

The lack of AC is an error. Oops! I'll have to fix that.

By this you mean % right? Or it is an actual full 30 points increase per level? That would be too much no?
