Armor (chain mail),  uncommon 
                
                
            Mithral is a light, flexible metal. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version of the armor doesn't.
Made of interlocking metal rings, chain mail includes a layer of quilted fabric worn underneath the mail to prevent chafing and to cushion the impact of blows. The suit includes gauntlets.
Notes: Stealth Disadvantage: Remove, Combat, Warding, Str. 13 Required, Stealth Disadvantage

Posted Nov 14, 2020So because it's an Mithral Chain Mail the AC will be 16 right?

Posted Jan 31, 2021Notes are incorrect, no stealth disadvantage and no str required "Str 13 Required, Stealth Disadvantage."

Posted Jul 29, 2021Chainmail that is not made of mithral will impose disadvantage on stealth checks.

Posted Dec 14, 2021DM / Rule question could an Aarakocra use this? Rules say no Medium or Heavy armor then implies it's too heavy to fly in...
not intended as a troll, just want to see people's opinion on it...

Posted Jan 4, 2022No as it's to the classification of Medium or Heavy armor. Now personally I'd allow it after they sought out a specialist armorer that could adjust it to work with the Aarakocra frame during flight.

Posted May 10, 2022That's because you're thinking of prior edition versions of mithril. Mithril used to lower the weight class of an armor by one, it doesn't do that any longer. It's lighter, but still the same weight class, so too heavy to fly in. They can get a light armor made of mithril if they want that... but there'd be no need other than looking shiny.

Posted May 19, 2022Correct. The note above is very poorly written. It's pretty much just Chain Mail that doesn't have a strength requirement, doesn't impose stealth disadvantage, and can be worn underneath clothing.

Posted Jun 3, 2022Hopefully they will just fix this, but you can homebrew an armor without it, or just ignore the error and roll without disadvantage anyway.

Posted Sep 29, 2022You can wear armor that you are not proficient in, but there is a cost.
Armor Proficiency. Anyone can put on a suit of armor or strap a shield to an arm. Only those proficient in the armor's use know how to wear it effectively, however. Your class gives you proficiency with certain types of armor. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can't cast spells.
