List of bugged conditions

This list aims to catalogue conditions which do not function as would be expected based on their tooltips, or which have other problems - or missing information - in their description, function, or location. This list is unlikely to be comprehensive as it is likely there are many issues with conditions of which we are unaware.

As this list deals with problems that have a high likelihood of being changed in patches and hotfixes, it is likely that entries will be incorrect following an update.

All entries are currently correct as of Hotfix 33.

Conditions

Name	Bugs
Animalistic Vitality	The in-game description of this ability is inaccurate. The amount healed is actually 1d8hit points per round. The healing applies outside of combat as well, even outside of turn-based mode. In real time, the healing will be applied every 6 seconds.
Arcane Charge	The in-game tooltip is somewhat vague based on the way the effect is coded, and reads as follows: "While Threatened, affected entity has a +2 bonus to damage with spells." However, having the Arcane Charge condition deals bonus spell damage against any  Threatened creature; the user does not need to be threatened.
Baneful Strike	Baneful Strike applies a 1d4 penalty to all Saving Throws for its duration, not just the attacker's next spell.
Beguiled	This variant of Charmed lacks the proper Charmed status group, and as such will not be removed or prevented by typical means.
Bhaal's Boon	Stacks of this condition are removed in far more circumstances than they should be which makes it nearly impossible to accumulate stacks. Whenever a condition of any type is removed from the Slayer, the number of stacks will decrement. Many features involve hidden technical conditions that are applied and removed frequently. In particular, every attack made with  Extra Attack involves applying and removing hidden technical conditions which track the extra attacks. As a result, simply attacking causes the stacks to decrement, often immediately after acquiring the first stack.
Bladesong Healing Charge	A charge is not granted when attacking with an equipped  Flame Blade, unless it has been summoned by a Mephistopheles Tiefling.
Bottled Breath	Despite what the tooltip states, drinking this potion actually allows you cast  Gust of Wind an unlimited number of times per Long Rest.
Bound Weapon	This condition lacks the Attributed(InventoryBound) code that is otherwise found on  Bind Pact Weapon and  Bind Hexed Weapon. Although this was (apparently) done to allow a bound weapon to be  Thrown, it also has the side effect of allowing an Eldritch Knight to give their bound weapon to any other character to use to the same effect. Thus, others can equip a bound weapon and use it as if they had bound it themselves, even if they are not an Eldritch Knight. For example, one can use an Eldritch Knight Hireling to cast  Weapon Bond on a weapon, give it to another character, and then remove the hireling from the active party and / or dismiss them. In this way a bound weapon can be used by any party member – until the next long rest.
Charmed	The description is completely erroneous. Affected creatures do not become friendly to the charmer or their allies; only damage received from the charmer or its allies breaks the condition. The effects of this condition mirror  Charmed, which is used as a parent. The effect of  Charmed (and this condition) is: cannot attack the spellcaster. The spellcaster has  Advantage on Charisma Checks in dialogue.
Click Heels	This condition actually applies the  Disadvantage to the affected creature's  Reaction attacks, rather than reaction attacks targeting them.
Compelled to Duel	This condition uses  Compelled Duel as a parent but does not change the check which imposes Disadvantage on the attacker against anyone but the caster. As a result, the attacker will have Disadvantage against every target, even the caster of this effect.
Cursed: Dread	Due to a coding error, a creature failing the save does not skip its turn if it skipped its previous turn.
Dirty Advantage	This condition ends when any action that does not result in a miss is made, instead of just attacks.
Disguise Self	Disguise Self disables effects which require the Brand of the Absolute to trigger, such as  Gloves of Power. As of Patch 5, Hotfix 17, it is possible to give the caster racial equipment bonuses for longer than intended by using the  Mask of the Shapeshifter, taking the mask off, and long resting without removing the disguise. On waking up, the disguise is gone, but the racial bonuses on the equipment still affect the character. This only works for racial equipment bonuses, not racial dialogue options. If the player character is disguised as a githyanki when talking to  Shadowheart for the first time on the beach at the start of Act One they are awarded an extra 30 xp. If a companion is disguised while at camp, they will remain where they were last placed when another companion or player character is selected, rather than automatically moving back to their tent, until they are moved again or a long rest is taken. This can be useful when seeking to apply conditions or spells with a limited radius, such as  Aid. While disguised, hirelings cannot be spoken with.
Dryad's Blessing	Due to a scripting error, this condition does not get added to characters.
Elixir of Guileful Movement
Encrusted with Frost	The in-game description is not entirely correct: failing the DC 12  Constitution saving throw results in the entity becoming  Frozen, whereas succeeding it causes it to take 1d4Cold damage. Contrary to what the description states, this damage is not halved.
Enemy of Justice	May permanently persist on a character in an Act where it was triggered despite no remaining "witness" guards.
Exposing Bite	This condition is removed after any attack roll against the affected creature within 3 m / 10 ft, but the critical hit only applies if it is made within 2 m / 7 ft. This means the effect will be wasted when attacking an affected creature with an extra reach weapon from maximum range.
Fierce Perilous Stakes	This can be cast multiple times on the same target to apply multiple instances of the condition at once. The critical hit threshold reduction, bonus damage, and healing effect from each application all stack with each other. The damage vulnerability does not stack this way.
Freedom of Movement	Applying Freedom of Movement via the  Freedom of Movement spell removes  Maimed, but having Freedom of Movement does not prevent being maimed.
Goaded	Despite being stated that the goaded enemy will attack the caster, the enemy's AI does not change at all and may not prioritize attacking the goading creature if they leave the attacking range. The tooltip for this condition states it has a Wisdom save, but no such on-turn saving throw exists. A character under the effects of this condition has Disadvantage on all attack rolls, even against the source of the condition.
Grasp Essence	Due to a coding error, Grasp Essence will be removed from the wielder if it takes damage and does not have any temporary HP.
Hastened	The in-game description says it doubles the movement speed, but it actually increases it by 9 m / 30 ft.
Heat	Depending on the source of the Heat status, some damage riders such as  Lightning Charges, radiant damage from the  Callous Glow Ring and  Psionic Overload increase the damage a character receives each turn.
Hoots' Hooch: Bad Breath	Hoots' Hooch: Bad Breath is bugged. Enemies do not get the Nauseous effect. Instead, when a character with Hoots' Hooch: Bad Breath is hit with a melee attack, that character makes a CON save against "%%% Empty".
Improved Bardic Inspiration	Due to a coding error, this condition also grants the Bardic Inspiration resource and reactions of a d6 Bardic Inspiration. Using one of the reactions expends the Bardic Inspiration charge but does not remove the Improved Bardic Inspiration condition, leaving non-bard characters with an empty, nonreplenishable Bardic Inspiration charge slot until the condition ends.
Instinctive Charm: Unaffected	Due to a missing StatusPropertyFlag, this condition is not removed on Long Rest and remains indefinitely.
Love Protects	Due to a scripting error, this condition does not get applied to characters.
Magic Awareness	The in-game description is inaccurate. It says, "The barbarian and all creatures within 3 m / 10 ft add their proficiency bonus to saving throws against spells." In reality, the bonus is 1d4 and it applies to all saving throws, not just against spells.
Magic Awareness Aura	The in-game description is inaccurate. It says, "Adds their proficiency bonus to saving throws against spells." In reality, the bonus is 1d4 and it applies to all saving throws, not just against spells.
Maimed	This condition lacks a proper Status Group, such as SG_Restrained, and thus can be applied to a creature that has  Freedom of Movement.
Moonmother's Embrace	Although the tooltip states that it grants 100hit points, it actually grants 100 temporary hit points.
Paranoid Dreams	Paranoid Dream increases if the  Spectator is targeted with  Mage Armour cast by  Dhourn.
Perilous Stakes	Can be stacked multiple times upon the same character, providing multiple occurrences of healing without any additional negative effect.
Phantasmal Force	The tooltip incorrectly states that the target makes a  Wisdom saving throw.
Prophecy: Delivering Alms	This prophecy cannot be completed because it references a passive that does not exist in the game code.
Prophecy: Well-Read	This prophecy can only be fulfilled for learning a spell from scroll when done via inventory. Spells learnt in 'Learn More Spells' window do not work.
Protection from Evil and Good	You do not get any immunity to charmed. The immunity to frightened and possession is against any source, not just the listed creature types.
Reverberation	Despite the description, no such mechanics exist to prevent Thunder-immune creatures from receiving Reverberation.
Ruptured	Some damage riders such as  Lightning Charges, radiant damage from the  Callous Glow Ring and  Psionic Overload increase the self-damage a character receives when moving.
Shadow Infusion	The description of this condition incorrectly states it provides the  Right Behind You reaction. It does not, and instead provides the  Splinter Shadow reaction.
Shell of Resistance	Gortash becomes immune to Fire even on non-Tactician difficulty, despite the tooltip.
Singing Sword: Shriek	The in-game tooltip specifies that Shriek applies the penalty to mental Saving throws but it actually applies to all saving throws and attack rolls.
Singing Sword: Shrieking	The in-game tooltip specifies that Shriek applies the penalty to mental Saving throws but it actually applies to all saving throws and attack rolls.
Singing Sword: Singing	The tooltip specifies "mental" Attack rolls and Saving throws but the bonus actually applies to all of them.
Singing Sword: Song	The tooltip specifies "mental" Attack rolls and Saving throws, but the bonus actually applies to all of them, not just mental ones.
Slowed	Slow: Casting is non-functional and spells cast by slowed creatures will never be delayed.  Slow: Actions does not prevent a creature from making multiple attacks unless they somehow become Slowed between attacks on their own turn.
Soul Branding	The in-game tooltip states the effect provides a movement speed bonus of 1.5 m / 5 ft, but it is actually 5 m / 17 ft. When applied to a weapon with the Thrown property, the effect is not lost on hitting an enemy with a  Throw attack, and remains for the full duration. The damage is still added.
Symbiotic Entity	Despite the tooltip saying this ability only affects melee weapon attacks, it affects ranged weapon attacks as well.
Temporary Hit Points	Unlike other temporary hit points, the temporary HP granted by Ever Vigilant disappears at the end of combat. This functionality is not stated in the description.
Threatened	When attacking a very large target, like the  Dominated Red Dragon, multiple parts of it may threaten the attacker at once, as if surrounded by multiple enemies, causing all ranged attacks to have disadvantage. This makes  Crossbow Expert: Point-Blank useless against such targets.
Tides of Chaos	When applied via  Tides of Chaos, this condition is not removed on Long Rest despite the tooltip. This condition is correctly removed on Long Rest when applied via the Tides of Chaos reaction.
Transmuted To Steel	Contrary to the what the tooltip claims, Transmuted To Steel does not reduce movement speed. Activating the  Muck to Metal ability does cost movement speed, but only when it is activated; on subsequent turns after activation, full movement speed is retained.
Undead Ward Aura	Though it is not stated in the tooltip, Undead Ward applies to summons with the Fiend classification, as in the case of Shovel, Cambion (Planar Ally), and Conjured Imp.
Water Layer Protection	The description incorrectly uses the same description as  Wet, despite the two conditions having different effects.
