Conditions

Blinded​

To have the blinded condition is to lose the function of your primary sense organ, which for humans is lightsense. When blinded:

  • The creature automatically fails any check that requires their primary sense.
  • Any chk(TC) against the creature has advantage, while any chk(TC) by the creature is at disadvantage.

Dulled​

The dulled condition refers to losing a secondary sense (one that is below 10), this is most commonly the sense of hearing (audiosense).

Confused​

Confused represents a number of conditions that are different in flavour, but amount to the same results with respect to the rules.

The creature can be confused in the following ways:

  • they don’t know friend from foe, and they are either completely unaware of how they have arrived at their place and time;
  • they are entirely consumed by an hallucination;
  • they have entered a schizophrenic episode, which may involve paranoia, believing that their allies are really agents of foes, or that they are on a secret mission toward some outlandish objective; or
  • they have been possessed through neurological or psychic means.

A confused creature cannot take re-acts, and can only take main-acts or bonus-acts of their volition if they overcome their mishap(insanity) level on a d12.

They have disadvantage on all Focus, Perception, Resolve, Insight skill rolls, and cannot perform knowledge or engineering skills.

The confused condition can be applied at mishap(insanity-1) or more, with each level increasing the likelihood of the creature not being able to perform main-acts and bonus-acts.

Unless stated by the effect applying the mishap(insanity), the duration of the confused state starts at 1 round for level 1, and increases in duration in time increments, so that mishap(insanity-2) is 1 minute, mishap(insanity-3) is 1 scene and so on.

Dazed​

A dazed creature suffers a disadvantage on all checks and saves.

Enthralled​

An enthralled creature places all their focus on the source of their enthralment, and have disadvantage on all checks that are not related to the source of their enthralment.
