====== Sleep ======

//For the spell, see [[Sleep (spell)]].//

There are rules for sleeping on WSG 65 but they are too [[simulationism|simulationist]].((See [[learning_adnd]] for information on how Demon Idol uses the WSG and DSG.))

Instead, apply the following rules:<sup>Ex</sup>

Sleep required is as follows:

^ State                                       ^ Sleep required  ^ [[hex movement|MP penalty]]  ^
| Comfortable (relatively)                    | 8 hours         | --                           |
| Wearing metal armor other than elfin chain  | +4 hours        | -40%, round to nearest       |
| In a tree (or the like)                     | +4 hours        | -40%, round to nearest       |


Failing to get the needed sleep applies a cumulative -1 to all to-hit rolls, AC, and saving throws for each night past that 1st night, up to a maximum of -6 (following the 7th consecutive night of insufficient sleep).

Any character wearing armor to sleep more than 1 night in a row takes the same -1 cumulative penalty mentioned above. It will stack with the "sleeping in armor for more than 1 night in a row rule".

A single night of proper sleep reduces the standing penalty by 3.

For example, sleeping in metal armor 2 nights in a row (-1 penalty) and only sleeping 8 hours each night (two -1 penalties) means a -3 penalty until a proper night of sleep is achieved.

Of course, though the penalty caps at -6, the DM should rule that a character simply cannot adventure if they go for a long time without proper sleep.
