========================================================
-------------------WHAT THIS GUIDE IS-------------------
========================================================
       This Guide is to show the skill effects from the
different skills that you get from armor.  Each piece of
armor gives either + or - to skills, and  at  a  certain 
value, you will get a  skill.  When  you  have  negative 
skills, the effects are usually bad. Plus to skills will
give you great skills, and are always recommended to get.
Certain skills are not very worthwhile, such  as map, or 
fishing.

========================================================


How to use this table:
Skill name:  This is what the skill name is under the armor listing
Value:  The amount of points needed to "unlock" an active skill
Activated skill:  The name of the skill when the point value is acheived
Skill Effect:  What the activated skill does.

|About Torso+X, and Torso Inc skills                                          |
===============================================================================
They are both skills listed under armor, but they have no activated skill name.
     Torso+X adds X number to all the skills currently on you torso armor.  For
example, if you are wearing torso that had Recovery+2, Fate-3, and sleep+1,
after equipping a piece with torso+2, your skills for the torso would be:
Recovery+4,Fate-1, and Sleep+3.
     The skill TorsoInc multiplies the skills you have on your current torso
armor piece.  This is a VERY useful skill if you want to save tons of money by
using a really good torso, but use black belt equipment for the rest.
For example, if your torso armor had attack+4, fire res+2, strength+2, and
water res-3, wearing just a waist with torso inc will double the skill effect
on the torso.  The skills would then be 8, 4, 4, and -6, respectivly.  Adding
Another armor part that adds torso inc (such as a helm), will triple the effect
- making it 12, 6, 6, and -9, respectively.  You can wear up to 4 armor parts 
that have Torso Inc, therefore making a simple armor such as rathalos mail give
skills like Atk Up (lrg), Recovery Speed+1, Provocation, and Dragon Res-3.0
