[Neurotic]

I thought you were a crazy Warlock?

Neurotic doesn't mean crazy!

@Steve Gorak So was going to have my character be an orphan and raised by your people. I was going to say raised by your parents which would make us sort of brothers and a reason for me to be sent with you. Just wanted to make sure before I did this.

That's good because I was wondering who was helping Enanthil into that armor every morning.

It's perhaps a sub-optimal pick (everyone seems to take an owl, in my experience), but our DM has allowed me to use the stat-block of a monkey to represent a Chwinga as my familiar. (An actual Chwinga would be a bit of an ask - they have a number of magical abilities). Story-wise, it will be very fun, I think!

Awesome! Let’s say that you were raised by his religious order, and therefore have the same religion. Depending on your pick for a race, that may make more sense because of the mismatch between ages of non eves & elves. Ok?
Cheers,

;-)

but seriously, is it possible to sleep in it, the armor being flexible and all?
cheers

Makes sense, I misread your sheet and thought your PC was a half elf.

IMO people tend to overstate all the things they think people can't do in armour, simply because us modern people probably couldn't do it. Sleep is one of those things. On the other hand, we never try to simulate hygiene in D&D, which would have been the bigger problem even than discomfort. (Easily solved with Prestidigitation). Bed sores might happen in armour, but they happened in beds back then too!

(As an aside, I once saw a guy walk on his hands in field plate. To be fair, he would count as trained in acrobatics, and probably has a decent dex.)

i also think that sleeping in armor should be fine. There are a bunch of videos on YouTube about a combattant’s mobility in plate armor (see here for an example) and once you’re used to it, it really isn’t an issue. Heck, I think that some people could even add a part of their dex mod to ac when wearing heavy armor, but I get there would be balance issues in dnd.

And yep, I love prestigitation! It’s such an awesome cantrip for general quality of life (cleanliness/hygiene, good tasting food, etc.)
Cheers
