Characters #ho remain blinded for a lon$ time $ro# acc"stomed to these dra#bac+s and can overcome some of them. Blown Away: Dependin$ on its si(e, a creat"re can be blo#n a#ay by #inds of hi$h velocity. % creat"re on the $ro"nd that is blo#n a#ay is +noc+ed do#n and rolls d.

Chec+ed flyin$ creat"res move bac+ a distance specified in the description of the effect. Confused: % confused characters actions are determined by rollin$ d1 at the be$innin$ of his t"rn4 & , &, attac+ caster #ith melee or ran$ed #eapons (or close #ith caster if attac+in$ is not possible)5 ,-&, act normally5 - ,0&, do nothin$ b"t babble incoherently5 0 ,6&, flee a#ay from caster at top possible speed5 6 , &&, attac+ nearest creat"re (for this p"rpose, a familiar co"nts as part of the s"b7ects self ). % confused character #ho cant carry o"t the indicated action does nothin$ b"t babble incoherently. %ttac+ers are not at any special advanta$e #hen attac+in$ a confused character. %ny confused character #ho is attac+ed a"tomatically attac+s its attac+ers on its ne't t"rn, as lon$ as it is still confused #hen its t"rn comes. % confused character does not ma+e attac+s of opport"nity a$ainst any creat"re that it is not already devoted to attac+in$ (either beca"se of its most recent action or beca"se it has 7"st been attac+ed).

Dead characters cannot benefit from normal or ma$ical healin$, b"t they can be restored to life via ma$ic. % dead body decays normally "nless ma$ically preserved, b"t ma$ic that restores a dead character to life also restores the body either to f"ll health or to its condition at the time of death (dependin$ on the spell or device). 8ither #ay, res"rrected characters need not #orry abo"t ri$or mortis, decomposition, and other conditions that affect dead bodies. Deafened: % deafened character cannot hear. She ta+es a ,. penalty on initiative chec+s, a"tomatically fails !isten chec+s, and has a -&1 chance of spell fail"re #hen castin$ spells #ith verbal components.

Other#ise, each day she has a &1 chance to start recoverin$ hit points nat"rally (startin$ #ith that day)5 other#ise, she loses hit point. Once an "naided character starts recoverin$ hit points nat"rally, she is no lon$er in dan$er of losin$ hit points (even if her c"rrent hit points are ne$ative). Dying: % dyin$ character is "nconscio"s and near death. She has , to ,< c"rrent hit points. % dyin$ character can ta+e no actions and is "nconscio"s. %t the end of each ro"nd (startin$ #ith the ro"nd in #hich the character dropped belo# & hit points), the character rolls d1 to see #hether she becomes stable. She has a &1 chance to become stable. If she does not, she loses hit point. If a dyin$ character reaches , & hit points, she is dead. Energy Drained: The character $ains one or more ne$ative levels, #hich mi$ht permanently drain the characters levels.

Entangled: The character is ensnared. =ein$ entan$led impedes movement, b"t does not entirely prevent it "nless the bonds are anchored to an immobile ob7ect or tethered by an opposin$ force. %n entan$led creat"re moves at half speed, cannot r"n or char$e, and ta+es a ,- penalty on all attac+ rolls and a ,. penalty to De'terity. %n entan$led character #ho attempts to cast a spell m"st ma+e a Concentration chec+ (DC 0 > the spells level) or lose the spell.

Fascinated: % fascinated creat"re is entranced by a s"pernat"ral or spell effect. The creat"re stands or sits :"ietly, ta+in$ no actions other than to pay attention to the fascinatin$ effect, for as lon$ as the effect lasts. It ta+es a ,. penalty on s+ill chec+s made as reactions, s"ch as !isten and Spot chec+s. %ny potential threat, s"ch as a hostile creat"re approachin$, allo#s the fascinated creat"re a ne# savin$ thro# a$ainst the fascinatin$ effect. %ny obvio"s threat, s"ch as someone dra#in$ a #eapon, castin$ a spell, or aimin$ a ran$ed #eapon at the fascinated creat"re, a"tomatically brea+s the effect. % fascinated creat"res ally may sha+e it free of the spell as a standard action.

Fatigued: % fati$"ed character can neither r"n nor char$e and ta+es a ,- penalty to Stren$th and De'terity.

Ao$"es can snea+ attac+ helpless tar$ets. %s a f"ll/ro"nd action, an enemy can "se a melee #eapon to deliver a co"p de $race to a helpless foe. %n enemy can also "se a bo# or crossbo#, provided he is ad7acent to the tar$et. The attac+er a"tomatically hits and scores a critical hit. (% ro$"e also $ets her snea+ attac+ dama$e bon"s a$ainst a helpless foe #hen deliverin$ a co"p de $race.) If the defender s"rvives, he m"st ma+e a @ortit"de save (DC & > dama$e dealt) or die. Deliverin$ a co"p de $race provo+es attac+s of opport"nity. Creat"res that are imm"ne to critical hits do not ta+e critical dama$e, nor do they need to ma+e @ortit"de saves to avoid bein$ +illed by a co"p de $race. #ncor!oreal: *avin$ no physical body. Incorporeal creat"res are imm"ne to all nonma$ical attac+ forms.

Creat"res on the $ro"nd are +noc+ed prone by the force of the #ind. @lyin$ creat"res are instead blo#n bac+ d2 ' & feet. &auseated: 8'periencin$ stomach distress. Na"seated creat"res are "nable to attac+, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anythin$ else re:"irin$ attention. The only action s"ch a character can ta+e is a sin$le move action per t"rn. 'anicked: % panic+ed creat"re m"st drop anythin$ it holds and flee at top speed from the so"rce of its fear, as #ell as any other dan$ers it enco"nters, alon$ a random path. It cant ta+e any other actions. In addition, the creat"re ta+es a ,- penalty on all savin$ thro#s, s+ill chec+s, and ability chec+s. If cornered, a panic+ed creat"re co#ers and does not attac+, typically "sin$ the total defense action in combat. % panic+ed creat"re can "se special abilities, incl"din$ spells, to flee5 indeed, the creat"re m"st "se s"ch means if they are the only #ay to escape. 3anic+ed is a more e'treme state of fear than sha+en or fri$htened.

'inned: *eld immobile (b"t not helpless) in a $rapple. 'rone: The character is on the $ro"nd. %n attac+er #ho is prone has a ,. penalty on melee attac+ rolls and cannot "se a ran$ed #eapon (e'cept for a crossbo#). % defender #ho is prone $ains a >. bon"s to %rmor Class a$ainst ran$ed attac+s, b"t ta+es a ,. penalty to %C a$ainst melee attac+s.
