Armour check penalty + leather jerkin

[Voltumna]

I am still using the 1st edition of Conan RPG.

The armour check penalty description of armour qualities reads:

"Any armour heavier tha leather hurts a character's ability to use some skills..."

From this I follow leahter armour shouldn't hurt that ability,but then table 6-4: armour table, lists a -1 on armour check penalty for leather jerkins.

Is this different in the atlantean edition?

Thanks,

Yes. The text is changed to read: 'Any armour heavier than a quilted jerkin penalises a character's ability to use some skills...'

Leather armour does impose a -1 armour check penalty.
