What is Armor?

Protective Pieces of Clothing

What is Armor.jpg

Armor is a collective term for all pieces of clothing that are meant to provide protection from enemy attacks and the elements. They naturally offer defensive properties, however select rarer pieces of Armor are seen boosting physical attributes and even granting the wearer access to different forms of spells and other magical abilities.

Armor Class Guide

Wearing a particular piece of Armor will determine how much of a boost in Armor Class you can get as a bonus. However, doing so without having the right Proficiency for it will have serious repercussions such as the inability to cast spells and Disadvantage on Saving Throws and Ability Checks.

Light Armor You gain the full value of your Dexterity modifier added to your Armor Class as a bonus.
Medium Armor You gain up to +2 of your Dexterity modifier added to your Armor Class.
Heavy Armor You gain no bonuses to your Armor Class despite a high Dexterity modifier.

Rarities Only Add 1 or 2 AC

Most pieces of common Armor will have an Uncommon or even a Rare variant. Apart from additional effects as they bump in rarity, Armor Class typically only goes up by 1 or 2 points depending on the rarity increase.
