Ways to counteract Fatigue from sleeping in Heavy Armor

[JakeCWolf]

So I'm making a Dwarf Armored Hulk, one who is something of a layabout drunkard who tends to fall asleep (read: pass out on the floor from drinking to much) in heavy armor, and rarely if ever bothers to take his armor off while adventuring.

At first I thought taking the Endurance feat would be enough, but it only counteracts fatigue from medium armor. There;s also an armor truss to prop up the armor so he can get into it on his own, but that's a lot of work and extra weight to lug around, and is outside his character being a lazy drunk of a dwarf.

So, suggestions for preventing/curing fatigue from sleeping in heavy armor, open to any ideas.

There are some things feats can't do, for everything else, there's wizards.

And Mithril. And Paladins with the Fatigue Mercy.

You could be a level 5 oracle with the lame curse, that makes you immune to fatigue outright. Depending on how it is handled, you could pick up mithral heavy armor, which would cause it to become the equivalent of medium armor. Rules text:

Core Rulebook | Pg. 154 wrote:

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.

Because of the "other limitations" part of that, I would assume it applies to fatigue being applied while resting, making it so your feat would work.

Edit: Damn, Gifalas got it before me.

Oh, and I think you could put that wizard spell Ms. Pleiades mentioned into a wand for fairly cheap. Just need someone with a respectable UMD to cast it every time you go to sleep.

Another spell worth mentioning is keep watch.

The Comfort and Restful armor enhancements will both help with that. Comfort lets you treat it as light for sleeping, lowers ACP by 1, and counts as weather appropriate clothing. Restful lets you sleep in it, drops your required amount of sleep to 2 hours, and potentially lets you recover more ability damage. Both are flat price enchants, too, which is nice.

Or just buy chain shirt jammies like a real adventurer. :P
