[QUOTE="Sonofapreacherman, post: 1426269, member: 2315"] Which very conclusively answers my initial question. There are no "official rules" rules for ordinary lack of sleep in 3rd edition. I seem to recall a 2nd edition rule that stated characters needed at least 4 hours of sleep per night or they would suffer a cumulative -1 modifier on certain d20 rolls. This resulted in two sets of 4 hour guard duties at night among the party when camping in a wilderness or dungeon setting. I certainly don't think characters who miss one night of sleep are so fatigued that running is going to be impossible the next day. Maybe we can borrow from the 3.5 edition forced march mechanic and say that if a character has not slept after 2 days (for 8 hours), a Constitution check (DC 10 + 2 per extra day) is required. Failure results in the character becoming fatigued. The Constitution check continues to increase for each additional day, with a second failure result leaving the character exhausted, and a third failure result leaving the character unconscious. Characters can otherwise sustain themselves on a minimum of 4 hours of sleep, so long as that much sleep is managed each night. How does that sound? [/QUOTE]
