Hey folks - wonder if anyone else is seeing this behaviour.

I'm playing on a pc, no heavy modding to speak of, and I'm in full Light Armour. Now and again though when I get hit, Heavy Armour levels up - this kinda seems like a bug, is anyone else seeing it?

Do you have a shield?

Some uncommon armor items are labeled wrongly in the game. I think you can get to the extreme with items that use your heavy armor skill to improve their effect, do not pose problems for the mage armor perk and level your light armor but not heavy when hit.

@senior Cinco

no - either a bow or a one handed weapon and a spell equipped.

@Mordy

I'm still relatively low level, so it's not as though I've picked up any uncommon items - it looks like and says it's leather
