# Conditions ## Baned #condition/new > [!note] Associations **Damage Type:** N/A **Spells/Abilities:** _bane_ While you have the Baned condition, you experience the following effect. _**Hindered.**_ You subtract 1d4 from your D20 Tests. ## Bleeding #condition/new > [!note] Associations **Damage Type:** Slashing, Piercing While you have the Bleeding condition, you experience the following effects. _**Lingering Damage.**_ You take 1d4 Slashing damage at the start of each of your turns. _**Saving Throws Affected.**_ You have Disadvantage on Fortitude saving throws. _**Ending the Condition.**_ At the end of each of your turns, you can make a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw, ending the condition on yourself on a success. The condition also ends if you, or a creature within 5 feet of you, takes an action to make a DC 15 Medicine check, or if you receive any source of healing. _**Healing.**_ The first source of healing you receive while Bleeding is spent entirely on ending the condition rather than restoring Hit Points. ## Blessed #condition/new > [!note] Associations **Damage Type:** N/A **Spells/Abilities:** _bless_ While you have the Blessed condition, you experience the following effect. _**Favored.**_ You add 1d4 to your D20 Tests. ## Blinded #condition/existing While you have the Blinded condition, you experience the following effects. _**Can't See.**_ You can't see and automatically fail any ability check that requires sight. _**Attacks Affected.**_ Attack rolls against you have Advantage, and your attack rolls have Disadvantage. ## Bloodied #condition/existing A creature is Bloodied while it has half its Hit Points or fewer remaining. ## Burning #condition/new > [!note] Associations **Damage Type:** Fire While you have the Burning condition, you experience the following effects. _**Burning Damage.**_ You take 1d4 Fire damage at the end of each round, unless the triggering ability specifies a different amount. If you're already Burning and gain the condition again, the higher damage amount takes precedence. _**Hard to Miss.**_ You shed Bright Light in a 10-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 10 feet, and you have Disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. _**Transferring Fire.**_ When you're Burning and you successfully grapple another creature, that creature also gains the Burning condition at the same damage level. _**Ending the Condition.**_ A creature can take an action or Bonus Action to clear the condition from you, or you can take an action to clear it yourself. You can also drop Prone and forgo all your movement to end the condition. You lose the Burning condition when you gain the Wet condition. Putting out the fire varies in difficulty depending on its source. Nonmagical flame can be doused easily—a creature can take an action to douse it if the fire is within reach, or use another means of dousing flame at range, such as the _control flames_ spell. Flame submerged in water or a similarly smothering fluid is doused automatically. Magical flame can be more difficult to douse, depending on the source. The _searing smite_ spell can be doused as easily as any nonmagical fire, but the flames of the _immolation_ spell can be doused only by ending the spell, such as with a successful saving throw or an effect like _dispel magic_. ## Charmed #condition/existing While you have the Charmed condition, you experience the following effects. _**Can't Harm the Charmer.**_ You can't attack the charmer or target the charmer with damaging abilities or magical effects. _**Social Advantage.**_ The charmer has Advantage on any ability check to interact with you socially. ## Concentration #condition/existing Some spells and other effects require Concentration to remain active, as specified in their descriptions. If the effect's creator loses Concentration, the effect ends. If the effect has a maximum duration, the effect's description specifies how long the creator can concentrate on it: up to 1 minute, 1 hour, or some other duration. The creator can end Concentration at any time (no action required). The following factors break Concentration. _**Another Concentration Effect.**_ You lose Concentration on an effect the moment you start casting a spell that requires Concentration or activate another effect that requires Concentration. _**Damage.**_ If you take damage, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw to maintain Concentration. The DC equals 10 or half the damage taken (round down), whichever number is higher, up to a maximum DC of 30. _**Incapacitated or Dead.**_ Your Concentration ends if you have the Incapacitated condition or you die. ## Confused #condition/new While you have the Confused condition, you experience the following effects. _**Indecisive.**_ You have the Rattled condition. _**Random Actions.**_ On your turn, roll on the Confused Behavior table to determine what you do. |d8|Effect| |:-:|---| |1|The Confused creature takes the Dodge action and ends its turn.| |2-3|The Confused creature takes no action or Bonus Action and uses all of its movement to move in a randomly determined direction. Roll a d8 to determine which cardinal/sub-cardinal direction it moves.| |4-5|The Confused creature can take either an action or a Bonus Action, and then moves half its Speed in a randomly determined direction. Roll a d8 to determine which cardinal/sub-cardinal direction it moves.| |6-7|The Confused creature takes the Attack action or the Magic action against a randomly determined creature within its reach or range. The creature can only perform an Exploit of 2nd degree or lower, or cast a spell of 3rd level or lower.

While you have the Dazed condition, you experience the following effects. _**Limited Actions.**_ On your turn, you can take only one of the following: move, take an action, or take a Bonus Action. If you become Dazed during your turn, your turn ends. _**No Concentration.**_ Your Concentration is broken. _**Rattled.**_ You have the Rattled condition. _**Saving Throws Affected.**_ You have Disadvantage on Reflex and Will saving throws. _**Speechless.**_ You can speak only falteringly. _**Surprised.**_ If you're Dazed when you roll Initiative, you have the Surprised condition. When a Dazed creature is affected by a spell or effect that grants it an extra action on its turn (such as the _haste_ spell or the fighter's Action Surge feature), it can still take that extra action, in addition to the movement, action, or Bonus Action allowed by the Dazed condition. The _cure ailment_ power, _lesser restoration_ spell, and _greater restoration_ spell remove the Dazed condition. At the GM's discretion, other powers, spells, or effects might also remove it. Some creatures have Immunity to the Dazed condition. At the GM's discretion, a creature that has Immunity to the Paralyzed or Stunned condition also has Immunity to the Dazed condition. ## Deafened #condition/existing While you have the Deafened condition, you experience the following effect. _**Can't Hear.**_ You can't hear and automatically fail any ability check that requires hearing. ## Disrupted #condition/new While you have the Disrupted condition, you experience the following effects. _**Backlash.**_ Whenever you attempt to cast a spell or maintain Concentration on a spell, you take Psychic damage equal to twice the level of the triggering spell. _**Chance to Fail.**_ Whenever you cast a spell, you must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw against your own spell save DC, or the spell fails without expending the spell slot.

This movement doesn't provoke Opportunity Attacks. You can't crawl into Difficult Terrain unless you're already in it. _**Brace.**_ You put up the best defense you can muster.

Wounded stacks up to a maximum of 5, and you gain additional stacks depending on the result of your death saving throws (the base DC of a death saving throw is 10). |Death Save Result|Outcome| |---|---| |20 (Critical Success)|Lose 1 stack of Wounded; the DC decreases by 2.| |10-19 (Success)|No change.| |2-9 (Failure)|Gain 1 stack of Wounded.| |1 (Critical Failure)|Gain 2 stacks of Wounded; the DC increases by 2.| When you regain Hit Points or are stabilized, your current stacks of Wounded linger. If you go down in combat again, upon reaching 0 Hit Points your stacks of Wounded are converted to failed death saving throws at a 2:1 rate, and then you gain +1 stack from reaching 0 Hit Points (or +2 if it was a Critical Hit). - When you are stabilized or regain 1 or more Hit Points, all of your failed death saving throws are converted to the Wounded condition at a 2:1 rate. - When combat ends, all leftover stacks of Wounded are converted to _levels of exhaustion_ at a 2:1 rate, and the remainder lingers. _**Ending the Condition.**_ You remove this condition by healing to full Hit Points and completing a Short Rest, or by completing a Long Rest. Alternatively, certain spells and effects remove stacks of this condition: the _spare the dying_ cantrip removes 1 stack of Wounded when stabilizing a creature, _lesser restoration_ removes 2 stacks of Wounded, and _greater restoration_ removes **all** stacks of Wounded. ### Example Scenario 1 #### Turn 1 Bob has 0 stacks of Wounded and is at 5 Hit Points. An enemy attacks him and hits him for 7 damage, reducing him to 0 Hit Points. Upon reaching 0 Hit Points, he gains the Downed condition and +1 stack of the Wounded condition. _Current Wounded count:_ 1 #### Turn 2 Bob's turn comes up, and he rolls a death saving throw. His result is 8, bringing his total failed death saves to 1. _Current Wounded count:_ 2 #### Turn 3 Bob's turn comes around again, and he rolls another saving throw. His result is a 1, bringing his total failed saves to 2. _Current Wounded count:_ 4 #### Turn 4 Bob's turn comes around again, and he rolls a 20. This brings his death save count to 1 success and 2 fails. _Current Wounded count:_ 3 #### Turn 5 Bob rolls a 14. His death save count is 2 successes, 2 fails. _Current Wounded count:_ 3 #### Turn 6 Somehow, Bob's teammates have not revived or healed him yet. He rolls a 13, marking his 3rd success on death saves, and becomes stable. He has 3 stacks of Wounded. **If Bob stays like this until combat ends.** Bob has his 3 stacks of Wounded converted to _exhaustion_,[^1] resulting in: - 1 level of Fatigue - 1 level of Strife - 1 stack of Wounded **If Bob regains consciousness and rejoins the fight.** Bob has 3 stacks of Wounded. The next time he goes down, he converts his stacks to failed death saves (2:1 ratio), and _then_ gains +1 stack of Wounded: Bob goes down again → Bob is at 0 Hit Points with 1 failed death save to start, and is left with 1 stack of Wounded → +1 stack of Wounded from going down. [^1]: Remember, both _Fatigue_ and _Strife_ count as Exhaustion in this ruleset. When specifically referring to "Exhaustion," it is referring to both at the same time.
