Armor Proficiencies doubling up
Pardon if this was asked previously. I searched the Errata and Forums, but didn't find an answer.
If an Archtype provides you with a certain Armor Proficiency and then you take a Background that grants you the same Proficiency, what happens? Example. You gain AP: all your nation's Light Armors from your Archetype and then take a background that grants you AP: all your nation's Light armors, what occurs?
Another question. Same as above: Archtype grants you All your nation's Light armors, then take a background that grants you AP: ALL your nations Armors (light, Med, and Heavy), what occurs?
Many Thanks in advanced,
You gain the next higher Armor Proficiency of the 'type' gained (Nation, named, etc). See page 124 under "Talents"

Also any time a background grants Armor proficiency in a Armor category the character already possesses, they gain the next heaviest category (for example: If you already possess Armor Proficiency (Light, National) and a background grants you the same, you instead gain Armor Proficiency (Medium, National). Proficiencies granted in specific armors are not affected.
