New Systems
Sleep and Rest
A mortal with 2 stamina requires a uninterrupted 7,5h (8h for 1 dot of stamina and with each dot in stamina lowering this requirement by 0,5 hours.) sleep each night to regain lost Willpower points. If the character do not sleep the required hours, she will not regain any lost Willpower point. If a person misses out of sleep continuously for days, she will lose focus and get tired this results in a -1 modifier for all mental rolls. The character will lose one Willpower point if the character does not sleep more then 4 hours (-1 hour per stamina, to a minimum of 30 minutes) for three days with a increase penalty of 1 to all mental related rolls (with a maximum of -5) each day the character misses out sleep. For every day after that point the character will lose an additional Willpower point. This willpower is recovered normally.
A character can force herself to stay awake for a maximum of 8 days. If a character is awake for more then 8 days, that character will start receiving 1 point of lethal damage per day after the 7 day (in addition to the Willpower lose). This damage is not recovered until you are able to sleep for a full nights rest. When the character forces herself to stay awake, she can only hold out for 4 hours before her body complains. For each hour after the fourth, she needs to make a Stamina + Resolve roll to stay awake. If the character manages to stay awake for more than 2 days, the character needs to make that roll every turn to avoid falling asleep.
