Getting Into and Out of Armor
The time required to don armor depends on its type; see Table: Donning Armor.
Don
This column tells how long it takes a character to put the armor on. (One minute is 10 rounds.) Readying (strapping on) a shield is only a move action.
Don Hastily
This column tells how long it takes to put the armor on in a hurry. The armor check penalty and armor bonus for hastily donned armor are each 1 point worse than normal.
Remove
This column tells how long it takes to get the armor off. Loosing a shield (removing it from the arm and dropping it) is only a move action.
