Do your characters wear their armor all day long?

[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 361906, member: 3146"] For me it depends on the character. The elf cleric I played in RttToEE wasn't too particular about her armor--she wore her chain shirt when she went out to fight evil but not generally to meditate (or whatever elves do instead of sleeping). That was until her guide turned around and death attacked her in the middle of the night. She survived but until she killed the assassin she rarely took her armor off. My main Living Greyhawk character, a fighter/wizard only takes his mithril chain shirt off to bathe (and since he knows presdigitation, he doesn't need to do that often). He's realized that he's never safe no matter where he is. While camped, in an inn, retiring after standing watch on the walls of a castle, even in a market or a fair, there seem to be villains and demons waiting to do evil. By 8th level, he's earned his paranoia. My secondary Living Greyhawk character, OTOH, is a good deal more trusting. He doesn't sleep in his armor. He'd probably stick to his leather armor for a festival or faire (He doesn't know how they inevitably turn out yet). In general, I think that higher level characters will probably have learned that it's not paranoia because the NPCs really are out to get you and probably always make sure that they have their defenses at hand. Perhaps even moreso for good PCs who would be concerned that their enemies might take advantage of apparent unpreparedness and attack them. If they went unprepared to a market, festival, or anything similar, that would most likely result in a lot of injury and death among the bystanders as well as risk to them. [/QUOTE]
