Body armor is always a compromise: mobility and comfort (and with it speed and stamina) are inevitably sacrificed to some degree when greater protection is achieved. This is a point of contention in the U.S. armed forces, with some favoring less armor in order to maintain mobility and others wanting as much protection as is practical.
[5]: 145 The first edition rangers were a subtype of the fighters, [6] using any weapon and wearing any armor, but they gained extra attacks at a slower rate than fighters and paladins.
