[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 116355, member: 2011"] As a general rule, I would not suggest it. Players are there to have fun and making "falling asleep" rolls, although realistic sounding on the surface, are actually quite contrived and not fun for players. If you were falling asleep on guard duty in a dangerous area, would you stand up and walk around, or wake up a fellow party member, or just sit there and fall asleep, knowing that there are monsters out there? It really does not make sense to add this level of complication to the game. It's like adding a level of "give me a roll to see if you have to take a leak while on guard duty". Just not worth it to antagonize your players over something so non-necessary. Btw, there is no official rule on this. I would only suggest doing it as a plot hook (i.e. you fall asleep and miss the woodsman slipping past the party and they discover his tracks the next day), not for typical guard duties. Even this can be very contrived sounding and not fun for your players. [/QUOTE]
