Getting Into and Out of Armor

The time required to don armor depends on its type.

Don

This column records how long it takes to put the armor on. (One minute is 10 rounds.)

Don Hastily

This column records how long it takes to put the armor on in a hurry. Hastily donned armor has an armor check penalty and armor bonus each 1 point worse than normal.

Remove

This column records how long it takes to get the armor off.

Table: Donning Armor

Armor Type	Don	Don Hastily	Remove
