[QUOTE="Journeymanmage, post: 5605265, member: 63814"] ^^ That right there. Similar to Geffor's post, I've slept in hard-leather armor and chain mail. The leather armor was more of a pain than the chain mail. Trying to sleep in armor is not as comfortable as just sleeping in your "standard mode", but it didn't cause any 'extra' fatigue the next day. As Saeviomagy points out, the people wearing the heavy armor are the people who are getting, stabbed, bashed, smashed, breathed on, pummeled, etc., etc. ... and they keep going back for more. The Heroes are people who are sleeping out in the wild under rock ledges in the middle of winter, with only a single blanket, wondering if those are common wolves howling in the distance or an army of Goblins and Worgs on their trail. Could the Heroes smell a bit after a few days or weeks in their armor? I don't think the smell of sweaty leather is the smell to be worried about ... try the dried blood, bits of monster flesh and necrotic body parts the pcs are carrying around. Also remember, unless you have a Roman-esk setting, it's unlikely that anyone bathes that often anyways ... and forget such niceties as running water to wash your hands after answering nature. ("I can't believe it, he doesn't know about the three sea shells") [/QUOTE]
