Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Best Armors
Armors in Pathfinder features pieces, defenses, and bonuses to your character and companions. Armors in Pathfinder feature pieces, defenses, and bonuses to your character and companions.
Armor is the simplest way in which one can protect themselves in the brutal world of Pathfinder. Many characters can wear only simple armors, while some can use shields as well.
To wear heavier armor, you can select Armor proficiency feats for your character. Most classes are automatically compatible and proficient with the armors that are the best fit for them.
Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind about the armors in Pathfinder: WotR.
Armor Bonus
Each armor type in Pathfinder will give you an armor bonus to Armor Class. Unfortunately, the armor bonus does not come along with other items or effects that grant you an armor bonus.
Maximum Dex Bonus
This value is the maximum amount of Dexterity bonus to Armor Class that a specific type of armor allows. Heavier armors can make your movement difficult, which puts your dodging abilities at risk. This condition has no impact on your Dexterity-related abilities.
Even if your Dex bonus to Armor Class drops to 0 because of armor, it doesn’t mean that they have lost their Dex bonus to Armor Class. Moreover, encumbrance might also impact the Dex bonus for the character’s specific Armor Class.
Armor Check Penalty
Armors heavier than leather and shield can hinder and hurt a character’s usage of Dex and Str-based skills. The armor check penalty applies to all of the Dexterity and Strength-based skill checks.
A character’s encumbrance will also invoke an armor check penalty. Additionally, if a character uses an armor or shield which he is not proficient with, he also takes the armor’s penalty on attacks rolls and Dexterity and Strength-based skills.
This penalty also stacks up with the penalty for shields.
Arcane Spell Failure Chance
Armor will interfere with the gestures and actions that a caster must make to cast an arcane spell. Therefore, arcane spellcasters will face a hindrance, and their spells might fail if armor is being used.
Bards can wear armor without any danger of arcane spell failure. However, if a character attempts to spell while wearing armor, he must first consult the Arcane Spell Failure Chance column on the table. This column will show you a percentage that the spell will fail or not.
With all of this said, let’s jump onto the best armors in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
