08-12-06, 03:56 AM Im new to DnD and I have a question about Fatigue. I read in the rules somewhere that after a certain amount of hours awake a character becomes Fatigued. I don't remember where I found it and I've been searching all day through my Players Handbook and DM Guide and I can't find it. There is no reference for Fatigue due to tiredness in the indexes and all I could find was a short note in the appendix explaining the effects of Fatigue. Can someone please tell me what page and in what book I can find the amount of hours a character can stay awake before he becomes Fatigued? Im pretty sure its 48 hours from memory but I've been searching most of the day in my books and I can't find that section. Can someone please help me as its driving me nuts.

08-12-06, 09:27 AM I have never seen a sleep-deprivation reference to fatigue in the core rules, but I would suggest 18 hours of activity or 24 hours in any case is enough to case exhaustion, and then fatigue is triggered by the normal causes after that.

08-12-06, 09:31 AM It all depends on what they're doing while being awake. Light activity, sternous activity... walking, bashing things with big metal sticks, or just sitting around examining the content of their own belly button.

So, no I can not pinpoint where you read that. But... This might help to give you and idea (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/movement.htm#overlandMovement) (Or, if you prefer PHB p164 - the section about overland movement.)
