 Conditions alter a creature’s capabilities in a variety of ways and can arise as a result of a spell, a class feature, a monster’s attack, or other effect. Most conditions, such as blinded, are impairments, but a few, such as invisible, can be advantageous. A condition lasts either until it is countered (the prone condition is countered by standing up, for example) or for a duration specified by the effect that imposed the condition. 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. 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.
+===== Addled =====
+The character’s thinking is damaged by drink, disease, magic, or brain trauma. The character has disadvantage on any Intelligence-based checks.
 ===== Charmed =====
@@ Line 12: / Line 20: @@
 The charmer has advantage on any ability check to interact socially with the creature.
+===== Armless =====
+The character’s arm is severed, crushed, or rendered useless. The character cannot climb, use
+shields, dual wield, or use two-handed weapons. If the character loses use of both arms, they are
+paraplegic. They cannot climb, use weapons or items, open locks, remove traps, or any other similar
+actions.
+===== Asleep =====
+Any character that is asleep will not take any actions and cannot defend himself. If he takes damage,
+hears a loud noise or his sleep is disrupted in any other way, he will wake up, but needs one round to
+get up and be ready to defend himself. An asleep character is considered to be Helpless and probably
+Prone.
+===== Blinded =====
+A blinded character cannot see. He suffers a -4 penalty to attack skill and initiative rolls and loses his
+dexterity bonus to armor class. A character who loses one eye, or can’t see out of one eye is half-
+blinded. They are -2 to missile attack throws at medium and long range, and will be fully blind if they
+get another half-blinded status.
+===== Bloodied =====
+Once a creature has lost half or more of its maximum hit points, it is considered bloodied. Being
+bloodied can trigger certain actions specified in the monster or talent description.
+===== Charmed =====
+A charmed character is friendly to the creature that caused the charm. That does not necessarily
+mean it will obey said creature. In many cases, a streetwise or influence proficiency check is required
+to have the charmed character do the charmer’s bidding, and even then only if they share a common
+language or mode of communication.
+===== Confused =====
+A confused character acts randomly. At the beginning of each round, 2d6 is rolled. The table below
+determines the character’s behavior for that round.
+Die Roll
+(2d6)
+Reaction
+Attack Caster
+-5 Attack caster or their allies
+-8 Remain idle
+-11 Attack allies or each other
+Try to flee
+===== Dazed =====
+A dazed character takes no actions, but suffers no further penalties. Unless mentioned otherwise, this
+effect lasts one round.
+===== Deafened =====
+A deafened creature can’t hear and automatically fails any ability check that requires hearing.
+===== Disfigured =====
+A disfigured character’s body has been twisted and broken from wounds or magic. They move 10’
+slower than they should, may not forced march, and suffer a -1 AC penalty from their halting gait.
+===== Disoriented =====
+Disoriented creatures receive a -2 penalty to saving throws and attack rolls.
+===== Dumb =====
+Your lips and tongue are severed, mangled, or rendered inoperable. The victim cannot effectively
+speak, cast spells or use magic items involving speech, and they suffer a -4 penalty to reaction rolls.
+===== Dominated =====
+The character is under the control of another creature. It obeys the dominator unfailingly but suffers
+a -1 penalty to all rolls. Unless dominated for a prolonged period of time, the master creature will
+most likely not know about the dominated being’s special abilities, like spellcasting.
+===== Drained =====
+A drained character suffers a -1 penalty to attack skill, saving throws, proficiency checks, and
+attribute tests. A character can be drained several times, and the duration could be anywhere from
+one turn to permanent.
+===== Entangled =====
+When a character is entangled, he moves at half speed and loses his dexterity bonus to armor class.
+Entangled characters that try to cast a spell have to make an appropriate saving throw or the spell is
+lost.
+===== Exhausted =====
+===== Fascinated =====
+A fascinated character is entranced by an effect, often a supernatural one. He will not act as long as
+the effect lasts. If he is threatened, the character is permitted an appropriate saving throw to break
+free.
+===== Helpless =====
+A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious or otherwise completely at an
+opponent’s mercy. A helpless target is treated as having a Dexterity of 0 (-5 AC modifier) against
+ranged attacks. An enemy can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup-de-grace to a helpless foe using
+by taking a full round. An enemy can also use a bow or crossbow, provided he is adjacent to the
+target.

+Lame characters may only move at half their maximum speed and they lose all dexterity bonuses to
+armor class.

+useless by magic. They cannot dual wield or use two-handed weapons.
+===== Mauled =====
+The character has been gruesomely scarred. It is impossible for them to impersonate another; +2 to
+intimidate others, -4 to all other reaction rolls.
+===== Panicked =====
+A panicked character does nothing but run away from the source of his fear taking the path of least
+resistance on their initiative card. If the panicked creature is trapped and may not flee, they may
+fight back against the source of their fear at a -2 penalty attack skill.
+===== Paralyzed =====
+A paralyzed character cannot attack, act, or move at all, but can take still think clearly. If a paralyzed
+character is attacked, he is hit automatically.

+A petrified character has been turned into solid stone. He cannot move, does not think and will not
+remember anything that happened while he was petrified.

+rolls and a -2 on further morale checks. Shaken characters who fail a morale roll are immediately
+Panicked.

+The character has caught a disease. He suffers a -2 penalty to saving throws, attack skill, armor class,
+ability checks and proficiency checks.
+===== Slowed =====
+A slowed character moves at half speed and has his initiative phase after all other combatants.
