[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6900956, member: 37579"] Con bonus in days before any penalties is a bit much. Even one day can mess you up. Plus, you don't want players alternating sleeping every other day because they can easily do a couple days without negative effect. Plus even making it 36 to 48 hours is pretty hard for the average person. The record setting 15 days probably shouldn't be the baseline, even for brave adventurers. (In the same way days without food or water doesn't assume you can survive the record month and change before dying.) Maybe 1 level of exhaustion the first day and then saves every day to avoid getting worse, but the DC set low so you have good odds of making it two or three days before really suffering. DC 10 or so. That should get people a little over a week, which is probably far longer than a lack of sleeping situation will play out at the table (but not so long that it will never have any impact). The insanity/ irritability is probably more of a Flaw than a mechanically penalty. [/QUOTE]
