Moderator note: It is also a part of our politics.  As such, most of this is really not appropriate discussion-fodder for EN World.  Sorry, but this portion of the post was asking for an argument. Back to topic, a preparedness mindset in game depends on alot of factors. Mostly how your DM runs things. If you have no reason in campaign to be specifically prepared then unless it is in the characters background it might be out of place. Some DM's throw encounters at you that are VERY hard/impossible without your equipment when you are sleeping, and they do it all the time, so in games like that EVERYONE will sleep in the best protection they can find. Actually in most of the games I have been in the DM was not a sticker about not sleeping in armor, if ambushed most of the party that wore armor kinda just played like it was on, wasn't a big deal.But as a DM and as a player I'd have no problem with typical adventures sleeping in armor if they are out in the wilderness. Possible having a spare set of light armor to sleep in. If they are in town and not expecting attack it would depend on the characters in question. Though it could be fun, like another player said, to do an encounter with improvised weapons and little equipment.  But NOT if the DM is out to get the party, and not all the time which frankly some dm's like to do. In games like that it is just an escelation and the players get ticked and so does the dm.In one campaign we were all low level 3rd or so and we kept getting attacked by this minor demon at night. Only my character (2e bladesinger) had a chance to kill it. (If I rolled max damage with longsword and shocking grasp channeld through the sword - house ruled). And I needed a 20 to hit it. No one else could even damage it iven if they did hit it. And if I hit it, it would just teleport away, heal up and get us again some other time. Sometimes it was 1 day sometimes 2 weeks. Sometimes in barracks or inn sometimes on the road. Almost TPK the party a few times. After while it was NOT fun.</blockquote>
