Conditions

Like in traditional DnD 5e, conditions alter a creature's abilities in a variety of ways and can arise as a result of a spell, a class feature, a monster’s attack, or other effect. Conditions still operate under the same rules:

1. A condition still lasts either until it is countered or for a duration specified by the effect that imposed the condition.
2. If multiple effects impose the same condition on a creature, each instance of the condition has its own duration, but the condition’s effects don't get worse. A creature either has a condition or doesn’t.

For the sake of variety and providing more options, a handful of new conditions were added. There may be changes to existing conditions as well, so it's recommended you read the definitions of even those which are familiar to you. The following definitions specify what happens to a creature while it is subjected to a condition:

***Blinded:***

* A blinded creature can’t see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight.

* Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature’s attack rolls have disadvantage.

***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 creature.

***Deafened:***

* A deafened creature can’t hear and automatically fails any ability check that requires hearing.

***Frightened:***

* A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight.

***Grappled:***

* A grappled creature’s speed becomes 0, and it can't benefit from any bonus to its speed.

***Incapacitated:***

* An incapacitated creature can’t take actions or reactions.

***Overexposed:***

* When a creature is overexposed, it must roll 1d10 when casting a non-cantrip spell and apply the following based on the roll:
