2024-09-10
Conditions are specific effects that can alter how a creature plays the game, with some causing absolutely detrimental conditions while others may only limit a few specific abilities:

A creature cannot see and fails any roll that requires sight or any abilities that state “A target you can see”
Their attack rolls are have Disadvantage while Attack Rolls against them are done with Advantage

A Creature gains this Condition when they are below half of their maximum HP
Objects or Creatures without blood (such as constructs) gain the same Condition but are labeled as “Degraded” instead
Charmed
A Charmed Creature can not target the Charmer with any Action, Ability, or Effect (such as an Area of Effect Spell) that would deal Damage or cause a Condition
The Charmer has Advantage on any Charisma Ability Check to interact with the Charmed Creature and cannot be targeted by an Insight Check by that Creature
Confused
Those affected must Roll a d6 at the start of their turns to determine what they can do
1-3 - The Creature loses its turn being confused
4 - The Creature must use their Movement and Dash Actions at once in a random direction but can act normally after that. This movement can Provoke Opportunity Attacks
5 -The Creature must use its turn to Attack the closest Creature as if it is an enemy. If there are multiple Creatures equidistant, it must be determined randomly. If there are no Creatures targetable then they can act normally with their full turn

If this Condition lasts up to 1 hour the Creature must Roll a DC11 Fortitude Save. Every hour this DC increases by 1. On a failure at any point the Creature gains 1 level of Exhaustion
These levels of Exhaustion are reduced by 2 after finishing a Long Rest. Any additional Levels decrease by 2 for every additional Long Rest
The inebriated condition can also end when the creature finishes a Long Rest.
Exhausted
This condition stacks as the creature’s condition worsens, increasing up to Lv.10 Exhaustion. A stack of Exhaustion can be removed with a Long Rest and can be caused by hunger, extreme heat, extreme cold, or by being severely injured
For each Level of Exhaustion that a Creature has it has their Movement Speed reduced by 1m and the same penalty is applied to any Ability Checks, Attack Rolls, or Saving Throws that the creature makes. Finally, any Spells cast have their Spell Save DC reduced by the same amount

At the end of each of its turns, an ignited creature takes 1d6 fire damage but stronger fires (this represents a very small fire on a piece of a pant cuff or cloak collar) increases this Damage by a number of d6 up to your GM’s discretion
This condition ends if the ignited creature uses an Action to end it, if an adjacent creature uses such an action, if the target becomes soaked, or if the target takes cold damage. The DM may judge the fire can be extinguished by other means.
