[QUOTE="Bigsta, post: 7511644, member: 6803284"] I've never quit a game, but when I played in a ToA game that was AL legal so the DM could get AL DM rewards, Xanathar's had not yet been released. As I mostly DM, I was excited to finally get to play a heavy armor and shield using tempest cleric. At the beginning of the campaign the DM asked if we would be sleeping in our armor and I said yes. Under AL rules there is no mechanical disadvantage to doing so, and the DM had no choice but to accept it as he couldn't house rule under AL. About a month prior to Xanathar's release, the DM expressed interest in using the sleeping in armor rule that would be appearing in Xanathar's. I disagreed and said it would be a stupid rule that would only serve to strengthen dex classes over strength classes. We then dropped the subject. Upon Xanathar's release, the DM implemented the sleeping in armor rule. The only other heavy armor player at the table agreed to use it and not sleep in armor at night. I did not. If we were attacked at night, I did not give the DM a lower AC. After finishing a long rest, I gave my self the same hit die that all the light and non-armor wears were entitled to. The DM eventually accepted it and moved on. Had the DM persisted and demanded that I follow the sleeping in armor rule, I probably would have had to fire him as DM. [/QUOTE]
