For example: Spot, Listen, Concentration, Sense Motive, and Search. I don't think an Intelligence check penalty really represents what's going on, do you? I mean, do people sleep-deprived somehow become unable to recall information they know? Then again, they probably do get worse at searching for something (Search is INT modified).Yeah, I think with the penalty to Sense Motive and the Will save penalty this is covered.Hard to abjudicate in D&D, you're right. I just listed some spell effects to get a GM thinking.Scary. I don't know how I'd implement that into a set of rules/guidelines. Increased food consumption on 3rd day? Starving starts after one week?So, maybe the check to resist micro-sleep *should* be a Will save? Seems more appropriate for it to be a Fortitude save. I could have the -2/day penalty apply to these Fortitude saves too. Your suggestions make it seem like the rules as is don't penalize someone suffering from microsleeps enough. Should a Will save be required to be able to make a Spot check?A good point, I'll include that in the rules. Also note that wizards don't *need* to sleep to memorize spells, they just need 8 hours of rest/meditation (as per core rules).Yeah, I've experienced this too. I might make a sidebar of this in the next revision, just pointing out the phenomenon and letting a GM do what they will.So, a person can recover from sleep deprivation by *over-sleeping.* Thanks reanjr!</blockquote>
