Conditions are effects that might be imposed during combat that work in your favor or against you. Some conditions are purely beneficial for you (such as Focused or Rallied),while others are solely detrimental to you (like Dazed or Frightened). Others can work for you or against you depending on how you utilize them (if you are Prone, you are harder to hit with ranged attacks but easier to hit with melee attacks).


'''AFFINITY'''
If a condition does not specify a duration, or a way to resolve it (such as spending AP to stand from Prone), it lasts until the end of the affected creature’s turn.


When you have an Affinity with a type of [[damage]], you take 1⁄2 of that type of damage, and deal +3 additional damage whenever you deal that type of damage.
=== Absorb ===
When a creature has Absorb X they reduce the amount of damage taken by X amount when it is that type of damage. For example, a hero with Absorb Fire 5 reduces all fire damage taken by 5.

All attacks against a Demoralized creature gain TA.
=== Frightened ===
You suffer 1 TD while the source of fear is in sight, and cannot willingly move closer to the source of your fear.


=== Grappled & Grappling ===
While Grappled, you cannot use two-handed weapons and your speed is impacted by the other Grappled creature.


'''ENGAGED'''
If two Grappled creatures are the same Size, the one that initiated the Grapple is considered larger for purposes of determining size when Grappled.
*If the larger Grappled creature is no more than two Sizes larger than the other creature, then the larger creature’s speed is halved; the smaller creature’s speed is reduced to 0 ft.
*If the larger Grappled creature is three or more sizes larger than the other creature, then the larger creature’s speed is unaffected; the smaller creature’s speed is reduced to 0 ft.
*Forced movement does not end the Grappled condition.
*If the larger creature is subjected to forced movement, the smaller creature moves with it
*If the smaller creature is subjected to forced movement and the larger creature is not, the larger creature decides if the smaller creature moves or not.
When a creature moves while Grappled, the other Grappled creature moves with it.


A target that is Engaged provokes a 0 APC Reactive Attack when it leaves the reach of the creature that has Engaged it. If the attack hits, the creature takes damage as normal and its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn.
A Grappled creature that did not initiate the Grapple can try to break out of a Grapple once on each of its turns. It does so by spending 2 AP (or using one action, if it is a creature) to make a STR or DEX attack against the FORT or REF of the creature that is Grappling it. On a success, the creature frees itself.


If you use magic to Grapple another creature, your speed is unaffected. The creature may break the Grapple normally, making a STR or DEX check against a DC of your magic attribute + 10. You are not considered Grappled in this case except when determining the target creature’s movement.


'''FATIGUED'''
=== Grounded ===
 
You cannot teleport or move to a different plane, nor can an external effect impose teleportation or plane-shifting effects on you.
Whenever you suffer Fatigue, immediately gain 1 Death Point and become Fatigued (you suffer 1 Death Point each time you suffer Fatigue, even if you were already Fatigued). While Fatigued, you do not remove your Death Points when you Recoup or Take a Rest. Instead, when you Take a Rest, you remove the Fatigued condition if you eat and drink the minimum amount needed to sustain you.

'''GRAPPLED & GRAPPLING'''
 
If a Grappled creature is the same or a smaller Size than the creature Grappling it, the Grappled creature’s speed becomes 0 ft and the Grappling creature’s speed is halved.
 
If the Grappled creature is two or more Sizes smaller than the Grappling creature, the Grappling creature’s speed is unaffected.
 
If a Grappled creature is one or two Sizes larger than the creature Grappling it, the Grappled creature’s speed is halved, and the Grappling Creature’s speed becomes 0 ft.
 
If a Grappled creature is three or more Sizes larger, the Grappled creature’s speed is unaffected, and the Grappling creature’s speed becomes 0.
 
On its turn, a Grappled creature can try to break out of a Grapple once per turn by spending 2 AP (Or using one action, if it is an NPC) to make an STR attack against the FORT, or DEX attack against the REF, of the creature that is Grappling it. On a success, the creature frees itself.
 
A creature who is Grappling can let go at any time without spending AP. Forced movement does not end the Grappled condition. If the creature who is Grappling is subjected to forced movement, the Grappled creature is moved with it. If the Grappled creature is subjected to forced movement, the Grappling creature decides if the Grappled creature moves or not.
