Heavy Armor Resting

Post by Kinsara »

Normally, I'd understand why resting in Heavy and Medium armors is not allowed, considering I once wore full chainmail to a Renaissance Festival, and it was uncomfortable as all hell. BUT! What about those military type dwarves, who practically live in their armor? Surely they could sleep standing up easily enough. I propose a set of pre-requisites that would allow resting in (at the very least Medium) Armor possible. I was thinking Toughness as a feat, fort save of 15+, and a Con of 20+. This is mainly aimed at classes who dedicate everything to their armor, such as the Dwarven Defender class. These stats would show that a character is tough enough to weather through everything. However, I do propose that regardless, you cannot rest above 25% in heavy armor. IF this is even possible, it would lead to some interesting RP, and be beneficial to those who like to live in their armor.
