What It Is

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

Limits And Rolls

  • You cannot take actions or reactions.
  • 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.
