Conditions
Here are the status conditions a creature can have.
Adventurer's Fatigue (optional)
Throughout the course of your adventures, it is quite normal to become burnt out and tired. A long dungeon delve may be fun, but also tiresome to go at it day after day. Adventurer’s Fatigue simulates the problems with constant adventuring and encourages players to take in-game breaks.
Tier 1 (10-19)
Adventurer’s Fatigue I inflicts a status where all hit dice recovered are halved.
Tier 2 (20-39)
Adventurer’s Fatigue II grants a level of exhaustion and sets your minimum level of exhaustion to 1.
Tier 3 (40-59)
Adventurer’s Fatigue III grants a level of exhaustion and sets your minimum level of exhaustion to 2. Additionally, you cannot receive any benefits from a short rest and can only use hit dice on a long rest.
Tier 4(60-79)
Adventurer’s Fatigue IV grants a level of exhaustion and sets your minimum level of exhaustion to 3. You no longer regain hit dice and only regain half your resources on a long rest
Tier 5(80+)
Adventurer’s Fatigue V grants a level of exhaustion and sets your minimum level of exhaustion to 4 and you roll a d10 instead of a d20 for ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. (no critical hits)
