Conditions alter a creature\u2019s capabilities in a variety of ways and can arise as a result of a spell, a class feature, a monster\u2019s attack, or other effect. Most conditions, such as blinded, are impairments, but a few, such as invisible, can be advantageous.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If multiple effects impose the same condition on a creature, each instance of the condition has its own duration, but the condition\u2019s effects don\u2019t get worse. A creature either has a condition or doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The following definitions specify what happens to a creature while it is subjected to a condition.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Blinded<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
A blinded creature can\u2019t see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight.<\/li>\n
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature\u2019s attack rolls have disadvantage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Charmed<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
A charmed creature can\u2019t attack the charmer or target the charmer with harmful abilities or magical effects.<\/li>\n
The charmer has advantage on any ability check to interact socially with the creature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Deafened<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
A deafened creature can\u2019t hear and automatically fails any ability check that requires hearing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Exhaustion<\/span><\/h3>\n
Some special abilities and environmental hazards, such as starvation and the long-term effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as specified in the effect\u2019s description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Level<\/th>\n Effect<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1<\/td>\n Disadvantage on ability checks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\n Speed halved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\n Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\n Hit point maximum halved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n Speed reduced to 0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\n Death<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
If an already exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount specified in the effect\u2019s description.<\/p>\n
A creature suffers the effect of its current level of exhaustion as well as all lower levels. For example, a creature suffering level 2 exhaustion has its speed halved and has disadvantage on ability checks.<\/p>\n
An effect that removes exhaustion reduces its level as specified in the effect\u2019s description, with all exhaustion effects ending if a creature\u2019s exhaustion level is reduced below 1.<\/p>\n
Finishing a long rest reduces a creature\u2019s exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested some food and drink.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Frightened<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight.<\/li>\n

<\/span>Grappled<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
A grappled creature\u2019s speed becomes 0, and it can\u2019t benefit from any bonus to its speed.<\/li>\n
The condition ends if the grappler is incapacitated (see the condition).<\/li>\n
The condition also ends if an effect removes the grappled creature from the reach of the grappler or grappling effect, such as when a creature is hurled away by the thunder-wave<\/em> spell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Incapacitated<\/span><\/h3>\n

Any attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Petrified<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n
A poisoned creature has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
