Some adverse conditions can affect the way a character operates, as defined here. If more than one condition affects a character, apply both if possible. If not possible, apply only the most severe condition. All of these conditions can exist outside of combat. If combat is initiated, then the Team Initiative score is reduced by 1 for each condition here that at least 1 of the characters on the Team have.
Blinded
The hero can’t see at all, and thus everything has total concealment to him or her which means the character has no advantaged and takes x3 Disadvantage when attempting to hit a target in melee or perform any check that involves Perception or Dexterity. The character can’t perform any activity (such as reading) that requires vision. Characters who are blind long-term (from birth or early in life) grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them (at the GM’s discretion).
Frightened
Fear grips the Character's mind and hinders there actions. The player takes disadvantage on all actions.
- Cowering
The Fear is so overcoming that the Character is frozen, loses his or her Dexterity bonus toward AC, Saving Throws, and skill checks, and takes double disadvantage on all actions. The condition typically lasts 10 rounds. A Wisdom check of a DC13 (plus any modifications deemed by the GM) can over comb the effects.

A character who is deafened long-term (from birth or early in life) grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them (at the GM’s discretion).
Entangled
An entangled character takes a disadvantage penalty on Attack Rolls add Dexterity saving throw. If the entangling bonds are anchored to an immobile object, the entangled hero can’t move. Otherwise, the character can move at half speed and can’t run or charge. A Character can be entangled by another Character for example if that Character is tackled. Also, Characters targeting an entangled target gain advantage.

- Exhausted
Characters who are Exhausted can’t run or charge as well as all the other disadvantages of being Fatigued. After 8 hours of complete, uninterrupted rest, an exhausted character is no longer exhausted or fatigued.
Grappled
When grappled, a hero can’t undertake any action other than attacking with his or her bare hands, attacking with a light weapon, or attempting to break free from his or her opponent.
