Tips to Get the Most Out of 5e heavy
Meet Strength Requirements
Always ensure your character meets the Strength requirement for Splint Armor (15 Str) and Plate Armor (15 Str) to avoid a 10-foot movement speed penalty.
Proficiency is Crucial
Remember that if you lack heavy armor proficiency, you cannot cast spells, and you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity while wearing it.
Consider Magical Enhancements
Look for magical heavy armors or shields that can significantly boost your AC and provide additional benefits beyond base values, further enhancing your character's survivability.
