[QUOTE="Silverwave, post: 4291471, member: 61783"] At the light of everything (mostly) that have been said, here's what I think I'll use. Endurance check for sleeping in armor (minus 1 for light armor, minus 2 for heavy armor; cloth armor don't give -1 since... well, it really is clothes, maybe I won't give -1 for hide armor as well since they look so cozy with all the furs and all :) ). DC medium (15 for lvl 1) +5 to DC per night Resets the moment you sleep without armor. On a fail check, you lose 1 healing surge (light) or 2 healing surges (heavy). That system emphasis a bit more realism than heroism, true, but it's not too penalising so that sleeping in armor, even with the risk of loosing healing surge, is a viable option if a night attack is very probable. This system could also be use to give a sense of comfortability. You could tell your players that if they sleep without bedroll on a cold night they'll have to make an endurance check (medium DC) or loose a healing surge (they didn't sleep well, so they didn't regain all their energy). Same goes for any situation where characters don't have a good rest : sleeping outside withtout tent on a rainy day, trying to sleep in a tent without a source of heat in winter, sleeping on a cold and wet stone dungeon floor hundreds of feet below the ground without at least a bedroll, etc. [/QUOTE]
