This armour offers modest protection to the wearer's upper body and allows the sound of the rings rubbing against one another to be muffled by outer layers. As Medium Armour, it takes 5 minutes to don a Chain Shirt and 1 minute to doff it. If you wear a Chain Shirt and lack proficiency in Medium Armour, you have Disadvantage on any D20 Test that involves Strength or Dexterity. # Credit Rules information taken from the _Player's Handbook (2024)_; description taken from the _Player's Handbook (2014)_.
