A dragon can stay awake for a maximum number of days equal to its PE attribute, then must sleep for 1/4 of that time (6 hours per day), modified by its PE attribute. The equasion is as follows:
Code: Select all
Max days awake = PE
Min sleep = Days awake / 4 * (100 - PE)%For example, take 3 dragons, one with a PE of 15, one with a PE of 25, and one with a PE of 50.
The first dragon would be able to stay awake for 15 days straight, and then need 15 / 4 days, or 3.75 days * (100-15)%, or 85%, for a total of 3.1875 days, which is 3 days and 4.5 hours.
The second dragon, staying awake for the same 15 days, would need 3.75 * (100-25)%, or 75%, for a total of 2 days and 19.5 hours. It could stay awake for a maximum of 25 days and require 4 days and 16.5 hours.
The third dragon, again staying awake for 15 days, would need 3.75 * 50%, for a total of 1 day and 14.25 hours of sleep. If it stayed awake for 25 days, it would need 3 days and 3 hours. It could stay awake for a maximum of 50 days and need 6 days and 6 hours rest afterwards.
What do people think? Does this sound like a viable option, or do you think it's too complicated? I would love to get an official ruling on this, one way or another. It wouldn't come into effect very often, but think if you had an adventuring party coming across a dragon's lair and it's at the end of its endurance and just has to sleep; or if you play a dragon and want to know how many consecutive days it could travel with the group and consecutive nights standing watch.
