What's not fun?

Sleeping is fun, it allows for night encounters of a specific kind.

Sleeping is kinda weird (yes, I know it was a sarcastic inclusion, with most of the list).

I was going to say that sleeping is "not fun" when you have to roleplay the sleeping. Then I realized that dreams can be an interesting roleplaying experience, so I decided to go with sleeping being fun.

This excellent question...

... has somehow been cheapened. Whatever. I'd like you to stop spraying the bitter herbs, but the discussion seems to be ignoring it, so I'll do the same (excepting this).

Spraying bitter herbs? So there has been no talk of changing the skill system in way that will result in less failure? Has there been no discussion about racheting up low level PCs because its no fun for Mr. Wizard to miss with his crossbow or Mr. Fighter failing a rather pedestrian will save because 1-20 is too random at low level? I'd like you to put away your zomg he's criticizing WotC glasses and read the post for what it is or just go to another thread little penguin boy.

I dont think there is anything unfun in this version of D&D. Annoying maybe but unfun and need to go? No.

Well, I could live without encumbrance rules...

Sleeping was in reference to clerics and wizards needing to sleep to regain thier spells I will clarify the OP.

I didn't know. Anyway, clerics don't need to sleep, they just need to wait for morning (or evening).

Sleeping in 3E is wonky: some classes must have it lest they become useless, while others don't require it at all. Either way there are no explicit rules to cover sleep deprivation.

ps - I suspect that if Piratecat wrote the sleep deprivation rules, it'd make old school D&D look like tranquilized bunnies.

I thought the "wait" needed to include 8 hours rest, but whatever; characters - whether they cast spells or not - need to sleep sometime...

And DMs need chances to surprise sleeping parties.
