For the spell, see Sleep (spell).
There are rules for sleeping on WSG 65 but they are too simulationist.1) Instead, apply the following effects of bad sleep:Ex
State | Required sleep modifier | Effects |
---|---|---|
Less than required sleep (base 8 hours) | – | -1 to-hit, -1 to saves, +1 to AC |
Sleeping in any armor | – | -1 to-hit, -1 to saves, +1 to AC for every night past the first |
Sleeping in metal armor (other than elfin chain) | +4 hours | -40% MP from required sleep modifier (round to nearest) |
Sleeping in a tree (or similar) | +4 hours | -40% MP from required sleep modifier (round to nearest) |
Effects are additive, and a single night of proper sleep reduces the standing penalty by 3. For example, sleeping in plate mail 2 nights in a row and only getting 8 hours of sleep each night would be a (-1
for sleeping in any armor 2 nights in row and a -2
for 2 nights of getting less than 12 hours of sleep, for a total of -3
. A single night of proper sleep would totally erase this penalty (-3 + 3 = 0
).
