'''Armour''' is a type of [[equipment]] that provides bonuses to the wearer's [[Armour Class]] (AC), decreasing their chance of being hit by attacks.


== Categories of armour ==
== Armor Proficiency ==
Each armour has a type that, generally speaking, determines its Armour Class and appearance. Each armour type also belongs to one of three categories: ''light'', ''medium'' or ''heavy''.  
People who trained to fight while wearing armors can use them effectively in combat.


; {{SmallIcon|Light Armour Icon.png}} Light armour : Provides some protection without sacrificing mobility. Creatures wearing light armour add their full Dexterity modifier to their AC.
Wearing armor without proficiency will impose [[Disadvantage]] on every [[Checks|Ability Check]], [[Saving Throws|Saving Throw]], [[Attack Rolls|Attack Roll]], you also can not cast [[Spell]]s.


; {{SmallIcon|Medium Armour Icon.png}} Medium armour : Provides moderate protection, but hinders mobility. Creatures wearing medium armour add their Dexterity modifier to their AC, up to a maximum of +2. Some medium armour types also give [[disadvantage]] on [[Stealth]] checks.
Each class has proficiency with specific types of armor. Some classes such as [[Sorcerer]] and [[Wizard]] have no armor proficiency.


; {{SmallIcon|Heavy Armour Icon.png}} Heavy armour : Provides maximum protection, but severely hinders mobility. Creatures wearing heavy armour do not add their Dexterity modifier to their AC and have disadvantage on Stealth checks.
== Type Of Armors ==
There are three types of armor: '''Light Armor''', '''Medium Armor''' and '''Heavy Armor'''.


In addition to these three categories, [[shields]] are a type of armour equipped in the character's off-hand.
=== [[File:Light Armors Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] Light Armor ===
----
'''Light Armor''' provides protection without sacrificing mobility.


== Armour proficiency ==
When wearing '''Light Armor''', your [[Armour Class]] is equal to the Armor’s base AC ''plus'' your [[Dexterity Modifier]].
In order to wear an armour efficiently, the wearer needs [[proficiency]] with that armour's category. A creature that wears armour it lacks proficiency with cannot cast [[spells]], and has disadvantage on all of its [[ability checks]], [[saving throws]], and [[attack rolls]].


Similarly to other armour, shields require the wearer to have proficiency with shields.
All classes with '''Light Armor Proficiency''' at level 1:
* [[Barbarian]]
* [[Bard]]
* [[Cleric]]
* [[Druid]] (Limited to non-metal armors)
* [[Fighter]]
* [[Paladin]]
* [[Ranger]]
* [[Rogue]]
* [[Warlock]]


Additionally, some [[helmets]], [[gloves]], and [[boots]] also require proficiency with a certain category of armour.

Armour proficiency with lighter categories is always inherited, meaning that a creature proficient with heavy armour is always proficient with light and medium armour.
