• Medium Armor: Medium armor offers more protection than light armor, but il also impairs movement more. 
• Light Armor: Made from supple and thin materials, light armor favors agile adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing mobility.

How to get Armor in Solasta

Armor in Solasta can be either found, looted from Enemies, purchased or are received as rewards for completing various quests and tasks. Players may encounter Merchant NPCs and Vendors such as Gorim Ironsoot. Merchants that man a General Store for Adventurer's may have some weapons available for purchase. Aligning with the vendor's Factions may even earn you a better deal for their wares. Other than purchasing them, they can be looted from enemies after battle or found in hidden highlighted areas or items such as baskets and drawers as you progress through the main campaigns or the different quests in the game. 

How to choose your Armor

Much like Weapons in Solasta, characters will need to have the appropriate proficiency to equip certain Light to Heavy set Armors. Proficiencies for equipment are granted by Classes during Character Creation, but some can also be gained from Races and Subraces, Backgrounds, Subclasses, and Feats.

Armor Proficiency SRD 5.1

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.
