Armor

Adventurers have access to a variety of armor types, ranging from leather armor to chain mail to costly plate armor, with several other kinds of armor in between. This page lists all non-magical armor available in Vosel.
== Armor ==
=== Light Armor ===
Made from supple and thin materials, light armor favors agile adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing mobility. If you wear light armor, you add your dexterity modifier to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class. 
Armor 	Cost 	AC 	Strength	Stealth 	Weight
Padded 	5 gp 	11 + Dex modifier	— 	Disadvantage	8 lb.
Leather 	10 gp	11 + Dex modifier	— 	— 	10 lb.
Studded leather	45 gp	12 + Dex modifier	— 	— 	13 lb.
=== Medium Armor ===
Medium armor offers a compromise between light armor and heavy armor. It offers both adequate mobility and protection. It is also significantly cheaper than heavy armor. As such, it is the most popular armor option both for adventurers and non-adventurers.
Armor 	Cost 	AC 	Strength	Stealth 	Weight
Hide 	10 gp 	12 + Dex modifier (max 2)	— 	— 	12 lb.
Chain shirt	50 gp 	13 + Dex modifier (max 2)	— 	— 	20 lb.
Scale mail 	50 gp 	14 + Dex modifier (max 2)	— 	Disadvantage	45 lb.
Breastplate	400 gp	14 + Dex modifier (max 2)	— 	— 	20 lb.
Half plate 	750 gp	15 + Dex modifier (max 2)	— 	Disadvantage	40 lb.
=== Heavy Armor ===
Of all the armor categories, heavy armor offers the best protection. These suits of armor cover the entire body and are designed to stop a wide range of attacks. Heavy armor doesn’t let you add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class, but it also doesn’t penalize you if your dexterity modifier is negative. 
Name 	Cost 	AC	Strength	Stealth 	Weight
Ring mail 	30 gp 	14	— 	Disadvantage	40 lb.
Chain mail	75 gp 	16	Str 13 	Disadvantage	55 lb.
Splint 	200 gp 	17	Str 15 	Disadvantage	60 lb.
Plate 	1,500 gp	18	Str 15 	Disadvantage	65 lb.
=== Shield ===
A shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.
Name 	Cost 	AC	Strength	Stealth	Weight
Light Shield	5 gp 	— 	— 	3 lb. 	
Shield 	10 gp	— 	— 	6 lb. 	
Heavy Shield	50 gp	— 	— 	12 lb. 	
== Armor Properties ==
Many types of armor have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Armor table.
=== Stealth ===
If the Armor table shows “Disadvantage” in the Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. 
=== Strength Requirements ===
Heavier armor interferes with the wearer’s ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the Armor table shows “Str 13” or “Str 15” in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer’s speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score.
