So, this is something I just realized - my ysoki mechanic has the exocortex granting him heavy armour proficiency. However, the heavy armour proficiency feat requires a str of 13 to take - my ysoki has a str of 10.
I can't find anything specific in the CRB (though I might be missing it) but does this mean, despite having proficiency, my ysoki cannot wear heavy armour?

The way I was reading it (and the way I've applied it to my Vesk Nerd sitting at 12 Str) is that the Exocortex does things to either the brain or pain receptors or whatnot that allow the body to wear the armor despite it being much heavier than what the strength would allow?

I was originally thinking something similar - figured it kinda implanted the knowledge on how to properly wear this and move in it even if you're not the most physically adept.
But I'm also worried about showing up with him and finding out 'Oops, I shouldn't be able to move.'
The minimum strength score of 13 is a requirement to select the Heavy Armor Proficiency feat -- but you are getting heavy armor proficiency automatically as a result of having an exocortex, not as a feat selection. A soldier would be able to wear heavy armor regardless of strength for a similar reason.

Thanks! I haven't really played classes, in Pathfinder, that ever took the proficiency as a feat - or if they did, they already had a strength score that would be high enough. So I wasn't 100% sure how this would work out.
