Just as with weapons, you can purchase or craft masterwork versions of armor or shields. These well-made versions perform like their normal counterparts, except that its armor check penalty is lessened by 1. Without using magic, you cannot add the masterwork quality to armor or a shield after it is created; it must be crafted as a masterwork item (see the Craft skill). Armor or shields must be masterwork before they can be enchanted with either enhancement bonuses to AC or magic armor (or shield) properties. | Just as with weapons, you can purchase or craft masterwork versions of armor or shields.
