Condition
name
|
Effect
|
|
Blinded
|
•
A blinded creature can't see and
automatically fails any ability check that requires sight.
•
A blinded creature treats all other
creatures as having the invisible condition.
|
|
Burning
|
•
A
burning creature takes 1d6 points of fire damage at the end of their turns.
•
A
burning creature can use an action to make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw
to end the condition. On a successful save, the condition is removed. If
the condition is created by a spell or an effect with a specified DC (such
as a spell save DC), the saving throw DC to remove the condition is equal
to that DC instead.
•
Adjacent
creatures can use a reaction to give a burning creature advantage on the
saving throw to end the condition and if some other effect douses the
flames (such as the target being submerged in water), the condition is
automatically removed.
|
|
|
Charmed
|
•
A
charmed creature can't attack the charmer or target the charmer with
harmful abilities or magical effects.
•
The
charmer has advantage on any ability check to interact socially with the
charmed creature.
|
|
Confused
|
A confused
creature acts irrationally. A confused creature must roll a d10 at the
start of each of its turns to determine its behaviour for that
turn:
•
1:
The creature uses all its movement to move in a random
direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to
each die face. The creature doesn't take an action this turn.
•
2-6:
The creature doesn't move or take actions this turn.
•
7-8:
The creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a
randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature
within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn.
•
9-10:
The creature can act and move normally.
|
|
Dazed
|
A dazed creature is unable to think
clearly:
•
A
dazed creature cannot concentrate on spells.
•
A
dazed creature has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws using
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
|
|
Deafened
|
•
A
deafened creature can't hear and automatically fails any ability check that
requires hearing and treats all other creatures as if they had the unheard
condition.
|
|
Diseased
|
•
A
diseased creature cannot regain hit points or reduce exhaustion
levels until the condition is removed.
•
Unless
the condition has a defined duration, a diseased creature can make a
Constitution saving throw (DC 15) to remove the condition when it finishes
a long rest.
|
|
Exhaustion
|
•
Exhaustion
is a cumulative condition, meaning a creature can acquire the condition
multiple times building up levels of exhaustion. A creature that reaches 6
levels of exhaustion, dies.
•
A
creature suffers a -1 penalty to its spell and ability saving throw DCs for
each level of exhaustion.
•
A
creature suffers a -2 penalty to all ability checks, attack rolls, and
saving throws for each level of exhaustion.
•
A
creature suffers a -5 penalty to its speed for each level of exhaustion.
•
Finishing
a long rest reduces a creatures exhaustion levels
by 1.
|
|
Fatigued
|
A fatigued creature struggles to keep
the pace:
•
A
fatigued creature’s speed is halved.
•
A
fatigued creature only gets an action or a bonus action (not both).
Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it can't make more
than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.
•
If a
fatigued creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time of
1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher, the spell doesn't take effect
until the creature's next turn, and the creature must use its action on
that turn to complete the spell. If it can't, the spell is wasted.
|
|
Frightened
|
•
A
frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls
while the source of its fear is within line of sight.
•
A
frightened creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear.
|
|
Grappled
|
•
A
grappled creature's speed becomes 0, and it can't benefit from any bonus to
its speed.
•
The
condition ends if the grappler is incapacitated (see the
condition).
•
If an
effect would move the grappled creature out of reach of the grappler or
grappling effect (such as when a creature is hurled away by the thunderwave spell), the creature that
attempts to move the grappled creature makes an attack roll using the
ability score associated with effect that is trying to move the creature
(e.g. the creature’s spellcasting ability modifier if the moving effect is
a spell, or Strength if the moving effect is was from a melee attack using
Strength) against a the DC of the grappling effect or a opposing DC.
•
A
grappled creature can make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its
choice) against the grappling effect’s DC or grappling creature’s opposed DC to end the grappled
condition.
|
|
Hidden
|
•
A
hidden creature has masked its presence from other creatures (e.g. by
taking the hide action). Other creatures do not know where a hidden
creature is, though they may be aware where they last saw the hidden
creature. For all purposes, the hidden creature is unseen and unheard.
•
A
hidden creature automatically loses the hidden condition if it attempts to
make an attack on the same turn it has taken the hide action.
•
A
hidden creature's attack rolls have advantage, though making an attack
immediately ends this condition.
•
A
hidden creature does not gain any benefit from the hidden condition if it
is not behind at least three-quarters cover or heavily obscured. Note that
this allows a hidden creature to be benefit from being hidden from some
creature (e.g. if there is total cover between them) and not gaining the
benefits from the condition against other creatures (those who can see the
creature clearly and therefore knows the hidden creature’s location). A
hidden creature also loses the hidden condition if it loses the unheard
condition.
•
To
remain hidden, a creature can only move up to half their speed on their
turns.
•
Other
creatures can search their surroundings to try and find a hidden creature.
As a bonus action, a creature can roll Wisdom (perception) against 10 + the
hidden creature’s stealth bonus. On a success, the creature is aware of the
hidden creature’s location, and the hidden creature does not gain the
benefit of the hidden condition against that creature.
•
A
creature that knows the location of a hidden creature can give all other
creatures a + 10 bonus to their Wisdom (perception) check to locate the
hidden creature before the end of the hidden creature’s next turn.
