Trained to assist warriors with their gear, squires are typically youths of noble blood apprenticing to be knights. However, lowborn adventurers occasionally feign nobility and employ squires of their own. Squires remain close to their master, holding extra weapons and equipment, picking up dropped gear, or carrying their liege’s banner.
**Inexperienced.** A squire hastens donning and doffing armor, reducing the required time to 1 round for light armor, 1d4 rounds for medium armor, or 2d4 rounds for heavy armor. A squire can also assist in equipping a shield or other weapon, reducing the time required to a bonus action.
