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


Wearing armour without proficiency will impose [[Disadvantage]] on every [[Checks|Ability Check]], [[Saving Throws|Saving Throw]], [[Attack Rolls|Attack Roll]], you also can not cast [[Spells]].
== Categories of armour ==
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''.  


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


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


=== [[File:Light Armours Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] Light Armour ===
; {{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.
'''Light Armour''' provides protection without sacrificing mobility.


When wearing '''Light Armour''', your [[Armour Class]] is equal to the Armour’s base AC ''plus'' your [[Dexterity Modifier]].
In addition to these three categories, [[shields]] are a type of armour equipped in the character's off-hand.


* Taking the “Lightly Armoured” [[Character Abilities#Feats|Feat]] can grant you Proficiency with Light Armours.
== 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]].

Similarly to other armour, shields require the wearer to have proficiency with shields.
