[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 3308022, member: 30709"] Early in my current game, a party of low level adventurers were travelling by horseback, forced to leave the safety of the riverboat they'd been using to journey to their locale. They are sleeping in a local tinn when the Gnolls of the forest launch an assault on the area. They sneak into the hallway, and theHalf-Orc barbarian's room is the first htey break into.... Initiative is rolled, ACs are called for, and as the Half-Orc answers my girlfriend pipes up, "Hold up, your AC could only be.... are you wearing ARMOUR in bed?" Now, because it was a Half-orc Barbarian, the player was able to argue that his behaviour wasn't entirely out of character: but my girlfriend brought it up a couple of other times when late-night antics took place and the party headed out in full battle gear with only a few seconds notice: a few late-night efforts where Longbows seemed to magically appear in hand. She, on the other hand, often mentions that her characters turns up in a nightie, or wearing rollers, or some other obvious "got out of bed" motif that makes her perhapos less combat-effective but more obvious fitting the scene. I don't mind it too much myself, but I know it can bug her, so in future I'm going to make a point of holding PCs to believeable night-time situations. This may inclkude forcing an action or two to pick up stuff like spell components or certain magic items, depending on the character. [/QUOTE]
