# Conditions

## Blinded

- A blinded creature can't see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight.
- Attack rolls against a blinded creature have advantage, and a blinded creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.

## Charmed

- A charmed creature can't attack the charmer or target the charmer with harmful abilities or magical effects.
- The charmer has advantage on any ability check to interact socially with the creature.

## Deafened

## Exhaustion

Some special abilities and environmental hazards, such as starvation and the long-term effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as specified in the effect's description.

If an already exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount specified in the effect's description.

A creature suffers the effect of its current level of exhaustion as well as all lower levels. For example, a creature suffering two levels of exhaustion has its speed halved and has disadvantage on ability checks.

An effect that removes exhaustion reduces its level as specified in the effect's description. All exhaustion effects end if a creature's exhaustion level is reduced below one.

Finishing a long rest reduces a creature's exhaustion level by one, provided that the creature has also had some food and drink.

### Exhaustion (Table)

LEVEL | EFFECT
--- | ---
1 | Disadvantage on ability checks
2 | Speed halved
3 | Disadvantage on attack rolls and saves
4 | Hit point maximum halved
5 | Speed reduced to 0
6 | Death
