Exhaustion

Keywords: EXHAUSTION
Some special abilities and environmental hazard, 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. Each level of Exhaustion stacks and is only removed after a long rest or due to some spells which remove a layer of exhaustion.

Level Effect:
1- Disadvantage on ability checks.
2- Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws.
3- AC penalty increase to -8
4- Speed reduced to 0
5- Hitroll reduced by half
6- Cannot act and will collapse into sleep


Each level additional layer of exhaustion is subject to all previous layer effects. So, if a player has 2 levels of exhaustion, they have both Disadvantage on ability checks and on Attack rolls and Saving Throws.
