Exhaustion

Summarized List: Status Effects

Exhaustion is a special status effect that results from stressing the body's physical and mental limits. Creatures can become exhausted due to overexertion, lack of rest, and lack of water in extreme heat conditions.

Maximum Level: 5
Each level of exhaustion gains increasingly severe penalties. Each successive level of exhaustion includes all the effects of previous levels, with Exhaustion 5 resulting in immediate death. If you're already exhausted, any additional effects that cause exhaustion will stack to a higher level.

Sources

The following conditions cause exhaustion:

• You suffer Exhaustion 1 every 24 hours since your last rest of at least 4 hours.
• In extremely hot environments, you suffer Exhaustion periodically.
• Failing any physical check while overencumbered causes Exhaustion 1.
• The GM may have any check cause Exhaustion on a failure or critical failure, especially if the attempted action was well outside the character's abilities.

Counters

• Sleeping for 8 hours during a rest (or 4 hours plus a meal) reduces your Exhaustion by 1. A good meal and 8 hours of sleep reduces your Exhaustion by 2.
• Drinking water reduces Exhaustion by 1 if it's caused by extreme heat.
• Adventurers trained in the Medicine skill can treat any degree of exhaustion on themselves or an ally.
