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


== Armor Proficiency ==
== Categories of armour ==
People who trained to fight while wearing armors can use them effectively in combat.
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''.  


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 [[Spells]].
; {{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.


Each class has proficiency with specific types of armor. Some classes such as [[Sorcerer]] and [[Wizard]] have no armor proficiency.
; {{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.


== Types of Armor ==
; {{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.
There are three types of armor: '''Light Armor''', '''Medium Armor''', and '''Heavy Armor'''.


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


When wearing '''Light Armor''', your [[Armour Class]] is equal to the Armor’s base AC ''plus'' your [[Dexterity Modifier]].
== Armour proficiency ==
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]].


* Taking the “Lightly Armoured” [[Character Abilities#Feats|Feat]] can grant you Proficiency with Light Armors.
Similarly to other armour, shields require the wearer to have proficiency with shields.
