Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oofta" data-source="post: 7168775" data-attributes="member: 6801845">I agree with the OP, and only have a couple of things I would add.  First, while I try to base my rulings on common sense (experience) of how things would work in the real world I also accept there are a lot of things I don't know.  So I try to give players the benefit of the doubt.  I assume that even if the players are doing something stupid, or forgetting something critical, their characters are reasonably competent.  Especially if trained.So if I think the plan is close enough, or there's a logical reason to apply a skill I'll allow it on a regular basis.Having said that ...You don't need a feather bed to get a good nights sleep.  As long as you are reasonably warm and not excessively noisy you can get a good nights sleep.  I've done hiking trips where we slept on rocks (no padding) and I was fine, if a bit stiff. So I don't assume that sleeping in armor is a problem because we already have (amazingly) well made armor you can wear all day.Strength matters for archery.  I get that there's this weird clean split between strength and dex.  Because of that we can have a world class archer with a 30 pound bow because they have a 6 strength.  There's a big difference being able to hit a target and hitting it with enough oomph to do real damage.  It's why I added bows that allow you to add your strength mod to attack and damage.  Endurance/Constitution matters.  I don't care how strong you are, at a certain point you use up the immediately available energy and you need to pull on reserves.  In fact, some people with the greatest endurance have fairly low strength.  I think this is best marked by constitution.</blockquote>
