Armor Training, Paladins and Sleeping in Armor


Rules Questions


Isn't that just awesome?! At level 11, a fighter with armor training and mithral full plate can be as stealthy and acrobatic as anybody else without armor.
I love it!

But what about sleeping in armor? Anything I've overseen?
There the paladin with the fatigue mercy seems to be better off. Sleep in armor - LOH - fatigue gone...


If you're 11th level with Mithral plate... you should have armour of comfort (it's a stright gp value, doesn't couynt as a +1). Ask a member of your team who has craft arms & armour to help.


You can also learn the spell Lesser Restoration or a similar spell. It automatically eliminates fatigue or exhaustion from sleeping in armor.
I know whenever I play a cleric, I have no problem cause one of the domain skills allows you to remove it as a standard. Its one of those little things that can just annoy you when you get interrupted in the middle of sleeping and have to fight in armor without proper rest. I also know the spell Nap Stack would help, but i'm not sure if a pally can get it.


You can also take the Endurance feat.

EDIT: for medium armor, anyway.


I'm more interested in finding solutions for the fighter - without the access to spells.

As armor training does not mention sleeping in armor, it seems the only way is with either mithral medium armor (which becomes light), or with mithral heavy armor AND the endurance feat.
Right?


As someone already said there is the comfort armor enchantment.

Ah, I didn't get that! Just found it, but I have to talk to the GM, as we only use CRB, APG, UM, UC.

Thanks again!


Well you might also consider taking the armor off when sleeping... You could have an armored coat ready, if you are in a rush in the middle of the night.

Using your god-given powers just to save yourself the trouble of taking your armor on and off seems a bit lazy to me.

Although an armor of comfort has the additional benefit that you can soil yourself without staining the armor. So it would also let the lazy (yet disgusting) paladin heed the call of nature, without having to waste time removing his breachers...

Sure, but every now and then you have to "survive the night", a rest you desperately need although you know chances are high to expect encounters.

Disgusting... but LOL!
