Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
A member of my party just got Demon Plate (DMG pg 165), which is cursed and once you don it (even without attunement), you can't doff it until you get a Remove Curse or similar magic. (The rest of the curse makes you more vulnerable to demons.)
But if you can't doff it, then it seems to force you to sleep in armor. Xanathar's (pg 77-78) details that if you sleep in medium or heavy armor you only get back 1/4 of your HD and you don't regain any exhaustion.
I'm thinking that the intention of "can't doff" means you're forced to use it until you can figure out how to lift the curse or get the spell. But it becomes a hefty penalty, perhaps more than the original, when combined with the rules from Xanathar's.
I know I can house rule this however I like. I wonder what other's thoughts are. Let it stand as written? Allow "partial removal" which doesn't break the curse, allows real rest, and doesn't grant AC if attacked while sleeping? Something else?
