D20:Getting Into and Out of Armor Rules


[top]Getting Into and Out of Armor

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

  1. 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.
  2. The wearer must have help to don this armor. Without help, it can be donned only hastily.
