The rings help reinforce the armour against blows from swords and axes. Ring mail is inferior to chain mail, and it's usually worn only by those who can't afford better armour. As Heavy Armour, it takes 10 minutes to don Ring Mail and 5 minutes to doff it. If you wear Ring Mail and lack proficiency in Heavy 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)_.
