Equipping and Unequipping Armor
The time it takes to don or doff armor depends on the armor's category.
- Equip (Don). This is the time it takes to put on armor. You benefit from the armor's AC only if you take the full time to don the suit of armor.
- Unequip (Doff). This is the time it takes to take off armor. If you have help, reduce this time by half.
