Does anyone know if there's a list somewhere of things that cause fatigue (other than trying to find a list of things that cause fatigue... actually, that should probably be in things that cause exhaustion)?

I'm not aware of any official list, but...
Innumerable spells are at the top of that list, there's also a Forced March, Hustling for over an hour, damage from hot or cold environments

I'm sure there are more, but I'm at a loss.

Why do you need a list?

Thanks, Tedronai. Glad I haven't over-looked something blindingly obvious, at least!

Pender, I'm working on a magic item at the moment that causes fatigue, and as I was checking the rules, I got curious about what else causes it. But I can't find a handy list anywhere, and now it's like a splinter in my mind...

-less than optimal nutrition in 24 hrs (character didn't eat that day)
-less than 8 hrs of sleep/day (choice for slagging casters. just make little probing raids or weak summoned monsters, still counts as an encounter)
-drinking less than recommended water in high heat (Sandstorm sums it up in heat stages, each one beyond Warm require another unit [gallon] of water/day
-Rage and/or Frenzy
-forced march, rushing, etc.
-really, anything under the Endurance moniker for Con checks is fair
etc. etc.

alot of it just requires common sense. like a really long swim might be light rushing over a period of time, quite taxing. coming down off a nasty hangover at the inn. some ppl even incurr sexual penalties if you, um, really rock the casbah w/ the wench (fatigued, maybe even exhausted). etc.

-The "Nightmare" spell, and a couple of others (like Ray of Exhaustion).
-Sleeping in Medium or heavier armour.
-Spending time at an altitude of 5,000 or more feet

That's all I know that 1 ton ghost didn't list.

Thanks again, people. Fatigued after rocking the casbah...!
