Conditions

Conditions are adjectives for a character with certain mechanical effects. A character can have multiple conditions, and some conditions imply others. The effects of conditions are not considered Abilities, so no Saves gained against the effects of conditions can be used to prevent those effects, although Saves against Conditions can. For instance, a character with Inner Rage ability Evermad gains a Save against effects which change their Mental State, but this cannot be used to prevent the Mental State change of the Unconscious Condition.
