Getting Into and Out of Armor

The time required to don armor depends on its type; see Table: Donning Armor.

Don

This column tells how long it takes a character to put the armor on. (One minute is 10 rounds.) Readying (strapping on) a shield is only a move action.

Don Hastily

This column tells how long it takes to put the armor on in a hurry. The armor check penalty and armor bonus for hastily donned armor are each 1 point worse than normal.

Remove

This column tells how long it takes to get the armor off. Loosing a shield (removing it from the arm and dropping it) is only a move action.

Table: Donning Armor
Armor Type	Don	Don Hastily	Remove
Shield (any)	1 move action	n/a	1 move action
Padded, leather, hide, studded leather, or chain shirt	1 minute	5 rounds	1 minute¹
Breastplate, scale mail, chainmail, banded mail, or splint mail	4 minutes¹	1 minute	1 minute¹
Half-plate or full plate	4 minutes²	4 minutes¹	1d4+1 minutes¹
If the character has some help, cut this time in half. A single character doing nothing else can help one or two adjacent characters. Two characters can’t help each other don armor at the same time. The wearer must have help to don this armor. Without help, it can be donned only hastily.

gollark: Of course, due to the lagmonster problem, TJ09 removed the mystical Green Zyumorph aeons ago.

gollark: If all seven of them are put together, they shall unleash a great monster to destroy the lands of DC - the ***LAGMONSTER***.

gollark: Zyus = pure evil pretending to be good.

gollark: Do you *need* to fog it, though? At this point, would viewbombing not *help*?

gollark: Someone get me TJ09. We need to file a complaint.
