Heavy Armor List
Heavy armor offers the best protection. These suits of armor cover the entire body and are designed to stop a wide range of attacks. Only proficient warriors can manage their weight and bulk.
Heavy armor doesn't let you add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class (AC), but it also doesn't penalize you if your Dexterity modifier is negative.
