This might seem like a simple question but it's one I'm very interested in the answer to! I'm a complete newbie to Pathfinder, creating a dwarven ranger PC at 8th level (the group I'll be a part of is 8th level). I'm getting him heavy armor proficiency specifically so he can wear mithral full plate armor. He'll also gain 'Endurance' as a bonus feat at 3rd level for a ranger.
The description for 'Endurance' states:
You may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued.
Normal: A character without this feat who sleeps in medium or heavier armor is fatigued the next day.
Also, concerning Mithral:
Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light. This decrease does not apply to proficiency in wearing the armor. A character wearing mithral full plate must be proficient in wearing heavy armor to avoid adding the armor’s check penalty to all his attack rolls and skill checks that involve moving.
So, any character with the 'Endurance' feat wearing a suit of mithral full plate armor should be able to sleep in the armor without becoming fatigued, correct? Thanks in advance for any answers or comments!
Dwarves were alot tougher in my day, they slept in armor, cooked in the helmet and used rocks for pillows.
Yes I would allow a dwarf to sleep in that armor....w/o endurance or w/o mithral...
So would I, but he would be really cranky and sore (read as fatigued) the next day.
Cranky Dwarf = DC:30 Will Save or uncontrollably Rage (as Barbarian) for 3 rnds at slightest provocation... like that friggin' elf being all 'blissful' the next morning.
Like others said, you will be ok in that armor with endurance, you are reading the rules right.
Thanks for the answers guys, you confirmed what I was 99% sure of. And yes, mithral full plate *is* expensive, but he's buying (and now sleeping in) it!

What the frag is with them tree huggers anyway? Mr. Elf starts his freaking day with,"Oh look the trees are in bloom how lovely I think I need to hump the tree." That crap gets old real fast. It's a tree! Chop it down for firewood, ya freak. And if you start singing again about how much you love daisies in the morning, I swear by Torag's anvil I WILL smite you down with my axe.
Now pass the ale and stew... what do you mean it's "vegetarian" soup? Ahh huh, the deer was just too cute to kill for breakfast. No badger either, it was having a good morning... *reaches for axe*
Yep nothing beats a fresh pint of ale and elven stew in the morning. Especially when the elf is fresh!
