bigdamnhero Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Has anyone ever played with modeling the effects of sleep deprivation? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking handling it similar to Intoxication (penalties to CV), but I'm also thinking it should have some kind of Drain against DEX, INT, EGO, maybe PRE...? Presumably END too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Out of the blue, I'd say DEX and INT gets drained by one point each for every four hours the character goes without sleep after having been awake sixteen hours. Or maybe it should be cumulative -- after having been awake more than sixteen hours, lose one point; after twenty hours, lose two more; and after twenty-four hours, lose another three ...

Markdoc Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Studies suggest that sleep deprivation has many of the short term effects of drunkenness, so using the rules for intoxication are probably a pretty good match. In general people, can go two-three days without sleeping before they start to really weird out, but it's safe to say that your performance is seriously impaired after two nights without sleep (I've tried this personally on a couple of occasions!) cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I always forget Hero Forum Rule #957: check the APGs before posting "Has anybody thought about...?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
