Exhaustion Condition - D&D Portal Wiki

What It Is

Exhaustion is a condition: a temporary game state that changes a creature's capabilities.

This page is a compact play reference. If a spell, feature, monster, item, or DM ruling gives a more specific instruction, use that specific instruction.

How To Use It

Apply exhaustion when a spell, feature, monster, hazard, or ruling imposes it. Track the duration or the rule that ends it.

Limits And Rolls

Exhaustion is measured in levels.
Higher levels apply harsher penalties.
Removing exhaustion depends on rest, magic, or the effect that caused it.
The condition itself is not a roll; the effect that causes it tells you whether to roll an attack, saving throw, ability check, or nothing.
