Exhaustion

While you have the Exhaustion condition, you experience the following effects.

  • Exhaustion Levels. This condition is cumulative. Each time you receive it, you gain 1 Exhaustion level. You die if your Exhaustion level is 6.

  • D20 Tests Affected. When you make a D20 Test, the roll is reduced by 2 times your Exhaustion level.

  • Speed Reduced. Your Speed is reduced by a number of feet equal to 5 times your Exhaustion level.

  • Removing Exhaustion Levels. Finishing a Long Rest removes 1 of your Exhaustion levels. When your Exhaustion level reaches 0, the condition ends.
