How to learn Second Skin I
The following manual supplies the book unlock for ranks marked “Manual unlock” in the rank table. Skill points and time are spent when you purchase the rank. See the skill book guide for manual requirements and planning examples.
Reduce the penalty of Medium Armour
Second Skin I reduces Medium Armour penalties by 33%, 66% or 100% at ranks 1, 2 and 3. The later ranks replace the earlier effect; the three percentages are not added together.
The first two ranks do not need a manual. Rank 3 needs Second Skin I Manual. All three ranks cost four skill points and three time segments in total, before any prerequisite Vigour rank you still need.
Second Skin II is the separate Heavy Armour skill that follows this one. Neither skill raises the inventory carrying limit or removes item weight, so Coen can still become overencumbered.
