I was currently playing the game and came across some ring mail heavy Armour 14. so I thought Cool I'll try it out on S.H. since she could now where heavy armor, or at least I thought she could since they upped her Dexterity. But when I gave it to her it says she doesn't have the Proficiency to use heavy armor. Why give her the Dexterity to use it but not the proficiency to use it? this makes no sense to me.
Err Dexterity has nothing to do with the ability to wear heavy armor, nor does any stat. The proficiency to wear heavy armor comes from class or feats. As far as I know there aren't any races or backgrounds that grant heavy armor proficiency. I think only Paladins and Fighters het the HA skill automatically. Everybody else would need medium armor proficiency already and then could take the heavy armor proficiency when they get to pick their next feat.
