"Plate armor is the heaviest armor type. It provides the most protection, but it slows your character down more than leather or chain. Plate armor skill increases the protection offered by plate armor."
Plate is a skill in Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer that increases the effectiveness of plate armor. Knights and Minotaurs can learn master plate, and Champions can learn grandmaster plate. The player characters can't start with the plate skill, but must learn it later from an armorsmith.
