''Main page: [[Armour]]'' | |||
A creature may have Proficiency in {{LightArmour}}, {{MediumArmour}}, and/or {{HeavyArmour}}. Some [[Helmets]], [[Gloves]], and [[Boots]] also require Proficiency in a certain type of armour. | |||
Wearing armour without Proficiency in that armour type will impose {{Disadvantage}} on all of your [[Ability Check]]s, [[Saving Throw]]s, and [[Attack Roll]]s, and prevent you from casting [[Spells]]. | |||
== Shield Proficiency == | |||
''Main page: [[Shields]]'' | |||
