'''AC Bonus''': Most armors grant an Armor bonus to AC, while Shields grant a Shield bonus. Armor bonuses don't stack with other armor bonuses. | '''AC Bonus''': Most armors grant an Armor bonus to AC, while Shields grant a Shield bonus. Armor bonuses don't stack with other armor bonuses. | ||
| - | '''Maximum DEX | + | '''Maximum DEX Mod''': This number is the maximum total of Dexterity bonus to AC that this type of armor allows. Heavier armors limit mobility, reducing the wearer’s ability to dodge blows. This restriction doesn’t affect any other Dexterity-related abilities. Note that this ''never'' counts as losing a Dexterity bonus to AC, even if the max bonus is +0. |
| - | + | '''Armor Check Penalty''': Armor heavier than Leather reduces ability to move. Armor Check penalties apply to Acrobatics, Athletics, Legerdemain, and Stealth checks - and apply ''double'' to any checks related to swimming. If wearing armor and a shield, ''both'' modifiers apply. If the character is not proficient with that armor, they take the Armor Check penalty as a modifier to attack and damage rolls. | |

'''Arcane Spell Failure Rate''': Armor interferes with the gestures that a spellcaster must make to cast spells with somatic components (unless they have a training to resist this effect; the Bard, for example, can ignore spell failure chances for light armor). The caster must roll a percentage die; if they roll at or below the Arcane Failure rate, the spell fails and is ruined (as if it had been used). Spells that don't have a somatic component are immune to this. | '''Arcane Spell Failure Rate''': Armor interferes with the gestures that a spellcaster must make to cast spells with somatic components (unless they have a training to resist this effect; the Bard, for example, can ignore spell failure chances for light armor).

Sleeping in armor hurts. When sleeping in light armor, sleep is uncomfortable and light, adding +2 to DC to save against fatigue or exhaustion. When sleeping in medium armor, the character becomes fatigued after four hours of awakeness, and exhausted after eight. When sleeping in heavy armor, the character is fatigued ''as soon as they wake up'', and exhausted after four. | Sleeping in armor hurts.
