Arms Lore has been changed:
Arms Lore will increase when weapons and armor are crafted
When a weapon is exceptionally crafted, the damage increase modifier will increase by 1% per 20 points of Arms Lore.
When a piece of armor (not including shields) is exceptionally crafted, it will receive a resist bonus based on the crafter’s Arms Lore skill. For every 20 points of Arms Lore, one resist normally available on that piece of armor will be raised by 1, for a total possible bonus of 5 distributed randomly. (Ex. At GM Arms Lore, the total resist bonus is +5%. One resist could receive the full +5% bonus. Alternatively, one resist could receive +2%, and three other resists could receive +1%, for the total of +5%. )
