'''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 ==
[[Category:Equipment]]
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''.  
== Armour Proficiency ==
Those who have trained to fight while wearing armour can use it effectively in combat.


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]].
; {{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 armour. Some classes such as [[Sorcerer]] and [[Wizard]] have no armour proficiency, and can only fight effectively while wearing [[Clothing]].
; {{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 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.
There are three types of armour: '''Light Armour''', '''Medium Armour''', and '''Heavy Armour'''.


=== [[File:Light Armours Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] Light Armour ===
In addition to these three categories, [[shields]] are a type of armour equipped in the character's off-hand.
'''Light Armour''' provides some protection without sacrificing mobility: when wearing '''Light Armour''', your {{ArmourClass}} is equal to the Armour's base AC ''plus'' your [[Dexterity Modifier]].


==== Light Armour Proficiency ====
== Armour proficiency ==
* The following classes start with {{LightArmour}} Proficiency at level 1:
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]].
** [[Barbarian]]
** [[Bard]]
** [[Cleric]]
** [[Druid]] (Limited to non-metal armours)
** [[Fighter]]
** [[Paladin]]
** [[Ranger]]
** [[Rogue]]
** [[Warlock]]
* Taking the '''Lightly Armoured''' [[Character Abilities#Feats|Feat]] also grants Light Armour Proficiency.


==== List of Light Armours ====
Similarly to other armour, shields require the wearer to have proficiency with shields.

=== [[File:Medium Armours Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] Medium 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.
'''Medium Armour''' provides more protection than '''Light Armour''', but hinders mobility: when wearing '''Medium Armour''', your {{ArmourClass}} is equal to the Armour's base AC ''plus'' your [[Dexterity Modifier]] (bonus AC from Dexterity limited to +2 for Medium Armour).
