A repost of a mechanikal rune for when you cannot afford to get out of your armour to get some sleep:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Comfortable

Mechanikal Rune
Type: Armour
Cost: 150 gc
Rune Points: 1

Effect: While the suit of armour equipped with this rune is powered, the wearer of this suit of armour is not discomfited by being in armour for prolonged periods of time, and can even get restful sleep while in armour (This rune also has some of the functionality of the cleanly rune (see MIKG3), making sure the wearer does not easily become infested with the kinds of parasites that would thrive if a suit of armour wasn’t taken off regularly, and also making the wearer of the suit of armour much less of a strain on their companions’ noses).

Morgan’s Notes: Most individuals interested in having this rune installed in their mechanikal suits of armour also include an armour runeplate selector (see MIKG1, p. 81) so they can quickly switch between “rest mode” and “combat” configurations.
Alternatively, the comfortable rune can be installed in a clockwork talisman (see MIKG3), which easily allows multiple individuals to benefit from its effects by simply giving the talisman to whoever has to currently stay in full armour during their period of rest.
Last but not least, this rune also enjoys popularity with sufficiently wealthy individuals who have trouble sleeping because of the sleep positions they are forced into (e.g. a character recovering from broken bones who cannot move into a comfortable position because of their splints and bandages).

Comments welcome, as usual.
