Status Effects

From injury to fatigue, learn what it takes to rise again.

Status Effects represent conditions that alter your character’s state—sometimes beneficial, sometimes harmful. They can be imposed by actions, environmental hazards, or other circumstances throughout your journey.

Some effects have durations, some are persistent until resolved, and others require specific remedies or checks to remove.

Your vision is obstructed or impaired.

  • You cannot rely on sight, and your surroundings are Obscured to you.

You are focusing on a specific task or effect.

  • You cannot concentrate on more than one action at a time.
  • Each time you take damage, roll for Concentration, contesting a DC of 10.
  • On a failure, you drop Concentration.
  • You may drop Concentration voluntarily as a 0 AP action.

Your hands are restrained or inaccessible.

You’ve been pushed beyond your limits.

  • For each level of Exhaustion, you suffer a (-1) penalty to all d20 rolls.
  • At 10 levels, you die.
  • Each Proper Rest reduces Exhaustion by 1 level.

Hindered #

Your movement is impeded or sluggish.

  • You can be Marked by multiple creatures, but bonuses do not stack.

Nullified #

Your Arcane energy is suppressed.

Any feature or item labeled with a (✶) symbol is considered Arcane.

When an Arcane feature or item is affected by Nullification, its active effects and traits are suppressed, and any actions it provides cannot be performed.

A character directly affected by Nullification also affects all their held or worn Arcane items, in addition to their Arcane features and ongoing effects. Their Concentration on Arcane actions are forcefully dropped.

All suppression lasts until the target is no longer Nullified.
