 Base movement speed is the slowest value between (1) the movement speed indicated by armor, and (2) the movement speed indicated by total weight carried. It will be 12”, 9”, 6”, or 3” normally. Monks and barbarians will determine their possible movement speeds by applying the same proportions/fractions to their maximum speed. Base movement speed is the slowest value between (1) the movement speed indicated by armor, and (2) the movement speed indicated by total weight carried.

-===== Helmets =====+===== Armor =====
  
-Helmets are included with armor. Characters are assumed to be wearing helmets unless declared otherwise. A helmet’s weight is included with the weight of the armor. If the character substitutes a great helm, some math will need to be done based on the weights of the two helmet types provided in the books.+==== Magic ====

-Shields protect against a certain number of opponents per round, not hits or [[attack routine|attack routines]].+==== Sleeping in ====
  
-Shields of the type which block attacks from only one opponent per round are not in the three core books. The “shield, small” entries in the PHB are actually the medium-size shields described by the section on number of blockable opponents per round. Bucklers are the single-target-block shields, and only exist in UA.+See [[Sleep]].
  
-===== Bows fired from horseback =====+==== Sizing ====
  
-Longbows cannot be used while the character is mounted, but shortbows and [[composite bow|composite bows]] can.+Armor made for the same group can be worn by other characters within that same group.((UA 104 lists groups. Man-sized is split into two categories in those groups, probably because it is dealing with elfin chain which is made for smaller characters. For other types of armor, the percentages on DMG 124 should be used.)) All armors except elfin chain are distributed thusly:((DMG 124, UA 104.))
