DnD players: "why can't I sleep with my armor on?"

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 48 points 3 months ago

FUN FACT: Joan of Arc slept in her armor sometimes. It caused severe bruising when she did.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 months ago

You sure can sleep with your armour on. And you can even gain a point of exhaustion when you wake up!

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Eh Xanathar's Guide codified this and its FAR more forgiving than that. A long rest in armor simply means you don't LOSE a point of exhaustion.

I mean, I've fallen asleep with my reenactment armor on, but it's always been unplanned, not very useful for rest, and always regretted after.

But if it's just chainmail and a gambeson, I don't really see why not.

I'm very much talking about plate armor

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I've slept in plate armor, so it's obviously not impossible. Just extremely undesirable.

[-] rxin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Huh I thought knights on duty did sleep with their armor on. To be ready at all times etc

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

It sounds to me like people on duty and people sleeping should not have any overlap hahaha
