GREATER CONDITIONS
Suffering a Greater Condition (with some possible exceptions) leaves them Defenseless, denying them the use of all Defenses or Resistances, meaning the base Defense class to hit them is just 10. In addition they no longer have Reactions and attackers can make Attack checks against them as routine checks, meaning a hit is guaranteed with an attack bonus of 0 or more, unless there are other modifiers affecting the check. Protection or Conviction Effects, especially those that can not be turned off, as well as size modifiers still apply even when Defenseless.
Incapacitated: Staggered and Unaware. Target generally falls Prone, unless some outside force or aid keeps them standing.

Dying: Incapacitated. Make a Very Easy DC Escalating Fortitude check each round until target reaches a total of 3 degrees of success, target stabilizes, but keeps this condition. 3 or more total degrees of failure means target becomes Dead. For every point above the Dying threshold add 1 point of Stress, if any points are left after all Stress slots are filled target fails a death save, if any are still left after 3 failed death saves target becomes Dead instead of Dying.
Progression: Dead

DAMAGE CONDITIONS
The below Damage conditions require recovery to remove.
Wound: Target has suffered minor damage and has a Wound. For every Wound a Target has they gain both Advantage and Disadvantage that can break tier. Once a Target has taken 5 Wounds, instead of gaining more Wounds increase any failures of damage resistance checks by 1 degree. Anyone attempting to treat or heal the Target suffers Disadvantage on their checks for every Wound.
Notes:
Wounded: Target becomes Wounded whenever hit with a critical success or an attack roll of 5 degrees of success on a physical attack. Increase recovery time by 1 (each): 1 Minute, Short Rest, Long Rest, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Year, +1 year for additional increases. In addition the DC to treat or heal the Target increases by one. In addition, this condition also increases any time required to recover the use of an Effect or Edge, or other recovery times.
Notes: Severe Damage Condition, remove these Conditions last.
Shaken: Target becomes Shaken whenever hit with a critical success or an attack roll of 5 degrees of success on a mental attack Increase recovery time by 1 (each): 1 Minute, Short Rest, Long Rest, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Year, +1 year for additional increases. In addition the DC to treat or heal the Target increases by one. In addition, this condition also increases any time required to recover the use of an Effect or Edge, or other recovery times.
Notes: Severe Damage Condition, remove these Conditions last.
Bloodied: Target becomes Bloodied whenever they roll a critical failure on a Resistance Check or fail by 5 degrees from physical damage. Increase recovery time by 2 (each): 1 Minute, Short Rest, Long Rest, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Year, +1 year for additional increases. In addition the DC to treat or heal the Target increases by two. In addition, this condition also increases any time required to recover the use of an Effect or Edge, or other recovery times.

Notes: Severe Damage Condition, remove these Conditions last.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
The below special conditions are not removed by recovery.
Vulnerable: No Active Defenses or Resistances, and no longer threatens any squares.
Notes: Typically gained from suffering a Major Condition.
Defenseless: No Defenses or Resistances, and no longer has Reactions.
Notes: Typically gained from suffering a Greater Condition.
Hallucinating: Target is experiencing sensory impressions that do not actually exist outside of their own awareness. The extent of the hallucinations depends on the degree of condition causing them, either a Figment, Delusion, or Immersion.
Notes: Gained from suffering from the Figment, Delusion, or Immersion Conditions.
Insane: Make a Will check (Mod DC) at the beginning of every day, and encounter until stabilized. With 3 degrees of success, target stabilizes, removing this condition for the day. 3 or more total degrees of failure means target gains the demoralized condition. When this condition is first gained target loses a Complication or Hubris (and PP gained), replacing it with an Insanity. When activated target must make a Will check (Hard DC), and one at the beginning of every encounter until stabilized, even if you had already stabilized that day.
Notes: Defenseless (No Defenses or Resistances, and no longer has Reactions).
Dead: Incapacitated and Unaware. A Dead Target is unable to recover or take actions. The Dead condition is normally the end of someone’s mortal existence, but some effects interact with Dead characters and allow them to communicate or even recover. Once Dead, a Targets soul is no longer tethered to its body and may move on to the afterlife of its choosing.
Notes: Defenseless (No Defenses or Resistances, and no longer has Reactions), No Actions.
Debilitated: Target has had a trait reduced or weakened below -5 and has effectively lost the use of that trait, and may not use or make any checks with that trait and might suffer other conditions while the Debilitated condition remains, depending on the trait.
Notes: Possibly Defenseless (No Defenses or Resistances, and no longer has Reactions).
Cursed: A Cursed Affliction can be devastating. If it imposes a 3rd degree condition or higher make Resistance checks as normal until target reaches a total of 3 degrees of success, target removes the Affliction and this condition. 3 or more total degrees of failure means target remains permanently affected by the Affliction. For every point above the 5th degree threshold add 1 point of Stress, if any points are left after all Stress slots are filled target receives a failure per point.
Progression:
Regression:
Notes: Depends on Affliction.
Damaged: A Damaged object loses some effectiveness. The object loses 1 Feature or Effect or suffers a -1 disadvantage on checks involving it each time it is damaged. Damaged objects also suffer a point of Stress when damaged. A medium object can suffer 5 Stress before becoming Broken, known as its Stress Limit. For small or smaller objects substract a point of Stress an object can take. For large or larger objects add 5 Stress per size above medium an object can take. These penalties are eliminated as the item is repaired. Any object that suffers damage after reaching its Stress Limit becomes Broken.
Progression: Broken
Regression:
Notes: Object Damage Condition.
Broken: A Broken object is no longer useable or functions for its intended purpose, until fully repaired. Any Broken object that suffers more damage becomes Destroyed.
Progression: Destroyed
Regression: Damaged
Notes: Object Damage Condition.
Destroyed: A Destroyed object has been completely broken apart, usually into pieces, perhaps even reduced to fragments or dust, and can no longer be repaired.
Notes:
Sensitivity: Target is sensitive to certain effects or descriptors, and has a better chance of failing on any Resistance Check against them. Roll both a d20 and the Misfortune die when doing so.
Progression: Weakness
Regression:
Notes:
Weakness: Target is weak to certain effects or descriptors, automatically failing on any Resistance Check against them. Though they still roll for the possibility of a critical failure. Roll both a d20 and the Misfortune die when doing so.
Progression:
Regression: Sensitivity
Notes:
Tolerance: Target is tolerant to certain effects or descriptors, and has a better chance of succeeding on any Resistance Check against them. Roll both a d20 and the Fortune die when doing so.
Progression: Immunity
Regression:
Notes:
Immunity: Target is immune to certain effects or descriptors, automatically succeeding on any Resistance Check against them. Though they still roll for the possibility of a critical success. Roll both a d20 and the Fortune die when doing so.
