I wanted to build a PC Cleric who wears Plate Armor.  Upon spending a 1st level Feat I can wear Scale.  When leveling up and gaining a new Feat I see that Armor isn't available on the Character Builder...  I am doing something wrong with 4E rules or is this a problem with builder?

The armor feats have requirements above and beyond simply knowing how to wear the next step down.  Plate iirc has a high str and/or con requirement, which must be met before it's an option.

You can by the way start a cleric at level one wearing plate, if you meet the stat requirements and make the character human, spending both feats on armor proficiencies.

Thank you Harsgault!  I knew you had to have proficiencies with the lighter forms of armor before plate but did not know about the Strength requirement!  I will redesign the PC with Character Builder and see what happens!

Thanks again for the help!
