This makes the user more resistant to damage across their whole body.

The '''Armorskin Gland''' is an implant added by the [[Royalty DLC]] that gives the host pawn natural armor, in exchange for making them uglier and slower. It is the middle option of the three skin gland implants, with protection and penalties between that of the [[Toughskin gland|toughskin]] and [[Stoneskin gland|stoneskin gland]]s.

==Acquisition==
It is made with {{icon|plasteel|20}} [[Plasteel]] and {{icon|advcomponent|6}} [[advanced component]]s at the [[fabrication bench]], after the [[Research#Skin hardening|Skin Hardening]] research is completed. The required [[techprint]] can be obtained either by trade or completing [[quests]] for the [[Empire]]. They require a crafting skill of 8.

== Summary ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=General, also see also standard of [[Prosthetic leg]] re capacities et al}}
Pawns that are implanted with an armorskin gland gain a bonus to Sharp/Blunt/Heat Armor by {{P|Armor - Sharp}}/{{P|Armor - Blunt}}/{{P|Armor - Heat}}% respectively, considered as its own layer for the purposes of [[Apparel#Protection|armor calculations]]. It also reduces [[pawn beauty]] by 1 and multiplies [[moving]] by a factor of 90%, a 10% reduction. In turn, the penalty to moving reduces the [[move speed]], [[hunting stealth]], and [[melee dodge chance]] of a pawn.

The armor rating of the gland still protects body parts replaced by [[artificial body parts]], even if they would not logically have skin. This is likely to prevent them from being a detriment to survivability.  

=== Installation ===
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.

==Analysis==
{{Stub|section=1}}
It provides a noticeable amount of protection. Keep in mind that armor penetration usually negates a part of the implant's armor rating, making it less protective than expected.
