If you keep exerting yourself without enough rest, you make Fort saves vs. an increasing DC. Failure causes you non-lethal damage, and you become Fatigued. Speaking as a player, sounds like an interesting quirk that would help define the character's personality. Party stops for 2 minutes to check the map, and when ready to move, someone has to "wake the ranger". Now, speaking as a DM, if one of my players suggested the same, I would probably deny it. Why ? Because as DM, I have more than enough to keep track of without having 1 PC out of 4 or 5 be a special case regarding sleep. How many naps did X get today ? How long were they ? The party was stuck at a door for 20 minutes while the Rogue "took 20" on the lock... did X get a nap in then ? Has X had enough sleep that he can stay awake all night and keep going in the morning, or should he be stumbling from exhaustion come sunup ?Granted that D&D is, in general, a "game of exceptions", I would not be thrilled with the idea of having something else to make sure is not being abused. What might work, though, is a home-brew feat. If "power napping" is a acquired trait, a feat that let you get rest in small bursts that added together might be Ok. Speaking as a DM, I would be less worried that it might be abused if it was paid for with a Feat slot.</blockquote>
