Overview

A condition is a temporary game state. The definition of a condition says how it affects its recipient, and various rules define how to end a condition. This glossary defines these conditions:

• Blinded

• Charmed

• Deafened

• Exhaustion

• Frightened

• Grappled

• Incapacitated

• Invisible

• Paralyzed

• Petrified

• Poisoned

• Prone

• Restrained

• Stunned

• Unconscious

A condition doesn't stack with itself; a recipient either has a condition or doesn't. The Exhaustion condition is an exception to that rule.
Duration
A condition lasts either for a duration specified by the effect that imposed the condition or until the condition is countered (the Prone condition is countered by standing up, for example).
No Stacking
If multiple effects impose the same condition on you, each instance of the condition has its own duration, but the condition's effects don't get worse. Either you have a condition or you don't. The Exhaustion condition is an exception; its effects get worse if you have the condition and receive it again.
