Why is Light Armor Bad Ass
Light Armor is one of the most bad ass skills because wearing light armor is the bee's knees. Unlike those fools wearing shields welded together to form massively heavy armor, us ballers are wearing skin tight leather which accentuates our features. Not only do we kick ass, we look good doing it. The shine from the leather as it curves over our smooth and supple... ... ok, I'm getting side tracked. We just are bad ass.
What does Light Armor Affect
If while wearing your light and breathable armor you happen to get hit, your skill in Light Armor helps mitigate the damage. As with all other skills in Skyrim, increasing the skill allows you access to powerful perks (pictured right) that allow you to regenerate your stamina at a much faster rate or even avoid direct attacks altogether.
