Armorsmith Archive

I am thinking about creating a second account this summer, to become an armorsmith. In my quest to become an awesome Armorsmith, I need to know 2 questions:

1) Is there any character I could choose that would give me bonuses toward AS (like wookies get bonuses towards CH, for instance)?

2) I know that you need skill tapes to bring up your experimentation to 12 points. Say I take the character from 1) (or any character if none give an AS edge): what skill tapes would up my experimentation, and how many points do I need to translate into the AS points to become a 12 point AS?

Thanks!

1, No, humans do get +1 experimentation point in artisan should you ever want to make bone armor though (doubtful)

2, You will need armor experimentation tapes. A total of +20 armor experimentation is required to get the extra 2 points
