Swimming In Armor 5e

Swimming In Armor 5e. I've experimented with chainmail shirts weighing just 30 pounds and found my normally solid swimming ability drastically reduced I don't have the book on me, but swimming in clothes probably kicks up the difficulty 1 tier, and those clothes being weighted kicks it up another.

Doff times depends on armor (light, medium, heavy), but it is measured in minutes Joining late, but I do it this way.anyone swimming in armor that gives a stealth disadvantage requires a rough water check

Joining late, but I do it this way.anyone swimming in armor that gives a stealth disadvantage requires a rough water check From my background away from 5e knowledge, the first video shows a strong person in a generous (long-sleeved) chain shirt DC 10 check doing if something I think is particularly tricky to do while swimming Light armor, medium armor with no stealth penalty

. You can do whatever you like; what I would do is play it as written DC 10 check doing if something I think is particularly tricky to do while swimming Light armor, medium armor with no stealth penalty

. Just to bring up a point not covered already; heavy armor already has a whole lot going against it in 5e (cost, weight, high requirements, stealth penalty, discouraging primary save ability DEX, etc.) so really doesn. I don't think that swimming in armor would be that much worse than swimming in, say wizards robes
