Bleeding

Slowly hemorrhaging to death. Bleeding creatures take one point of damage directly from their HP every round. Each additional bleeding wound increases this damage by one point.

Blinded

Unable to see at all. Blind creatures automatically fail visual Perception checks and cannot benefit from or be harmed by spells, abilities or skill checks that rely on a creature with sight. Creatures without the Blind-Fighting Trump are at a −8 to combat maneuvers.

Burning

On fire and usually a bit panicky. Creatures who are partially aflame can extinguish the flames for 3 AP. A creature who is completely engulfed in flames must spend 6 AP to put out the flames. Spells, torches, chemicals, some weapons, and all other sorts of things can start a fire that can spread to a character. While a creature is burning, they will continue to take 8 damage each round until the fire is extinguished.

Confused

Unable to tell friend from foe. Confused creatures have a 50/50 chance to mistake allies for opponents.

Deafened

Unable to hear. Deafened creatures automatically fail auditory Perception checks and cannot benefit from or be harmed by spells, abilities, or skill checks that rely on hearing.

Grabbed

Held in a Grab by another creature, object, or force. A grabbed creature cannot use its movement Speed and takes −4 on Evasion Rolls.

Immobilized

Heavily restrained by another creature, object, or force. An immobilized creature cannot use its movement Speed. It automatically fails Attack Rolls and Evasion Rolls. An immobilized spellcaster cannot perform gestures.

Infected

Afflicted with a natural or magical disease, complete with nasty symptoms and side-effects. Diseased creatures assume Knockout Track penalties, depending on the severity.

Muted

Completely unable to speak. Creatures usually denied the use of the following skills at the GM's discretion: Taunt, Seduce, Leadership, Bluff, Negotiate, and sometimes Perform. A muted spellcaster cannot recite incantations; those who use Spellsong cannot cast at all.

Paralyzed

Unable to move at all. A paralyzed creature is completely still and may not engage in any action that requires physical movement. A paralyzed creature is also considered muted (see above).

Poisoned

Dosed with poison, toxin, or venom of a natural or magical nature. Poisoned creatures take a different amount of damage (depending on the severity) directly from their HP every round.

Prone

Off your feet and on the ground. Prone creatures suffer a −4 penalty on Attack Rolls and Evasion Rolls until they stand up. It takes 2 AP to stand up from a prone position.

Stunned

Physically stalled or in shock. Stunned creatures automatically go last in the Reaction order on their next turn.

Suffocating

Unable to breathe. A creature unable to breathe but not doing anything physically taxing (such as actively fighting in combat) can hold its breath one minute for each point of Endurance. After this, the creature is considered suffocating. Each round the creature remains suffocating, a Stamina roll against a DL of 15 must be made in order to keep from slipping one step down the Knockout Track. Once the creature becomes unconscious, if the suffocating conditions persist, the creature dies.

Unconscious

Out cold or fast asleep. An unconscious creature is oblivious to its surroundings, cannot participate in the initiative order, and counts as paralyzed (see above).

Wide-eyed

Surprised and unprepared for the action at hand. A wide-eyed creature automatically fails Evasion Rolls.
