 ==Description==
-While worn, droven chain mail grants 2 base [[AC]], 4 [[DR]] and [[MC2]], and also confers a bonus to spellcasting equivalent to wearing a [[robe]]&mdash;this bonus stacks with the bonus from an actual worn robe. As shadowsteel armor, droven chain mail has a chance of evaporating in lit squares, with the chance reduced if the wearer has MC3 or [[invisibility]]; [[erodeproof]]ed droven chain mail will repair partial evaporation while the wearer remains in an unlit square.
+While [[worn]], droven chain mail grants 2 base [[AC]], 4 [[DR]] and [[MC2]]. Wearing or [[removing]] droven chain mail takes 5 actions to perform. As medium armor, wearing droven chain mail grants an AC bonus equal to {{sfrac|(dexterity - 11)|4}} (rounded down). A hero wearing droven chain mail also gains a bonus to [[spellcasting]] equivalent to wearing a [[robe]], which stacks with the bonus from an actual worn robe.
