'''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 in armor can use it 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 armors without proficiency will impose [[Disadvantage]] on every [[Ability Check]], [[Saving Throw]], attack roll, you also can not cast [[Spell]].


; {{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 classes have proficiency with specific type of armors. 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 armors, such as: '''Light Armors''', '''Medium Armors''' and '''Heavy Armors'''.


In addition to these three categories, [[shields]] are a type of armour equipped in the character's off-hand.
=== Light Armor ===
----
'''Light Armors''' are armors that provide protection without sacrificing mobility.


== Armour proficiency ==
When wearing '''Light Armor''', your [[Armour Class]] are 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.

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

=== Sources of armour proficiency ===
'''Medium Armors''' are armors that provide more protection than '''Light Armors''', but they hinder mobility.
Armour proficiency is generally gained from starting [[class]], [[race]] or [[feats]].


; Light armour : Classes: [[Barbarian]], [[Bard]], [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Fighter]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]], [[Rogue]], [[Warlock]].
When wearing '''Medium Armor''', your [[Armour Class]] are equal to the Armor’s base AC ''plus'' your [[Dexterity Modifier]] (Max of 2).
: Races: [[Human]], [[Half-elf]].
: Feat: [[Lightly Armoured]].
; Medium armour : Classes: [[Barbarian]], [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Fighter]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]].
: Class features: [[College of Valour]], [[College of Swords]].
: Races: [[Dwarf#Shield_Dwarves|Shield dwarf]], [[Githyanki]].
: Feat: [[Moderately Armoured]].
; Heavy armour : Classes: [[Fighter]], [[Paladin]].
: Class features: [[Favoured Enemy]] (Ranger Knight), [[Life Domain]], [[Nature Domain]], [[Tempest Domain]], [[War Domain]].
: Feat: [[Heavily Armoured]].
; Shields : Classes: [[Barbarian]], [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Fighter]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]].
: Class features: [[College of Valour]].
: Races: [[Human]], [[Half-elf]].
: Feat: [[Moderately Armoured]].


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