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.

The 'forge list armor' command will list the kinds of armor you know how
to forge. The weight listed is the minimum weight needed - pieces of
armor can weigh up to 50% more if you use heavier ingots when forging
them.

High strength will help you forge armor from harder metals more easily,
while higher constitution will reduce the amount of movement required.
A high intelligence is also helpful, especially when working with more
difficult metals such as high-grade steels, mithril or adamantium.
