D&D 5e rule changes: Difference between revisions

** [[Heavily Encumbered (Condition)|Heavily encumbered]]: A character becomes heavily encumbered at 18 lbs (9 kg) times their Strength rather than 10 times. It also prevents them from being able to climb or jump at all in addition to the normal effects.

* Exhaustion is not implemented.

* [[Frightened (Condition)|Frightened]]: Creatures which are frightened are unable to move at all (rather than being unable to move toward the source of their fear), unless the effect instead makes them "[[Fear|fearful]]", which gives them the frightened effect as well as making them flee.

* Grappled is not implemented.

* [[Paralysed (Condition)|Paralysed]]: Attacks from within 10 ft automatically hit and are always critical hits, rather than hits from within 5 ft being automatic critical hits.

* [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]]: Being prone gives disadvantage on [[Strength]] and [[Dexterity]] [[Saving Throw|saving throws]], attacks against a prone creature have [[Advantage|advantage]] out to a range of 10 ft rather than 5 ft, and ranged attacks against a prone creature do not have disadvantage. A creature cannot do anything while prone. Starting the turn while prone will cause a creature to automatically use half its movement to stand up; if a creature becomes prone during its own turn, its turn automatically ends. Prone will also make a creature stop concentrating on a spell or similar ability that requires concentration.  

* [[Wet (Condition)|Wet]]: This is a new condition that prevents the character from [[Burning (Condition)|burning]] (e.g. from [[Searing Smite]]) and grants [[Damage_Types#Resistance|resistance]] to fire damage, but also makes the creature [[Damage_Types#Vulnerability|vulnerable]] to lightning and cold damage.
