When you're in jail

Care to give us something to sleep on? I would hate to die from sleep depravation while I am in jail....

For mages and clerics, just give us spellfailure while in jail, the spellguard set up some kinda anti-magic field or something.

Only the guilty can sleep in jail.

Or the extremely tired or cold-blooded.

Drunk, maybe? Anyway, it'd be good to have such possibility.

Why?

Don't get me wrong, it might make a certain kind of sense- But, the Watch cells aren't really built for criminals having a long stay, and I don't really believe that the Privates on duty would give spellcasters any opportunity to prepare spells. Antimagic cell or no antimagic cell.

The route to the Cage isn't warded, and the ability to cast spells is definately a needed one for law enforcement characters in the cell area anyway.

Not really anything that IMO would have an impact. Really, you aren't in jail for very long OOCly. Rest to regain powers/spells after you get out.

It could also be abused by watch for free resting.

The Watch already get free resting.

Besides, it would be really funny for a situation like this to arise:

Beggar: "What're you doin' in 'ere?" Watchman: "Zzzz... huh? Wha'?" Beggar: "Ah' said, wha' tha 'ells are ye doin in me cell?" Watchman: "Oh... uh... the other guards, y'know? The loud ones guarding the Town Hall?" Beggar: "Yah, what 'bout 'em?" Watchman: "Well, uh, it's quite embarrassing but... well, see, they got all drunk, loud and rowdy, stole my armour and claimed they were hobgoblins. So I locked myself in here to get some shuteye. Y'know?" Beggar: "Aye, totally."

Also, it's pretty easy to sleep in jail... Not that I would know... :wink:

At least you could get yourself arrested over something minor to have a place to sleep when you don't have the gold anymore to afford a room at the inn, huh? :P
