Powers, monsters, traps, and the environment can all cause conditions. A condition imposes a penalty, a vulnerability, a hindrance, or a combination of effects. The Remove Affliction ritual can be
useful for eliminating a long-lasting condition that affects you.

Blinded

✦ You grant combat advantage.
✦ You can’t see any target (your targets have total concealment).
✦ You take a –10 penalty to Perception checks.
✦ You can’t flank an enemy.

Dazed

✦ You grant combat advantage.
✦ You can take either a standard action, a move action, or a minor action on your turn (you can also take free actions). You can’t take immediate actions or opportunity actions.
✦ You can’t flank an enemy.

Deafened

✦ You can’t hear anything.
✦ You take a –10 penalty to Perception checks.

Dominated

✦ You’re dazed.
✦ The dominating creature chooses your action. The only powers it can make you use are at-will powers.

Dying

✦ You’re unconscious.
✦ You’re at 0 or negative hit points.
✦ You make a death saving throw every round.

Helpless

✦ You grant combat advantage.
✦ You can be the target of a coup de grace. Note: Usually you’re helpless because you’re unconscious.

Immobilized

✦ You can’t move from your space, although you can teleport and can be forced to move by a pull, a push, or a slide.

Marked

✦ You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn’t target the creature that marked you.

Petrified

✦ You have been turned to stone.
✦ You can’t take actions.
✦ You gain resist 20 to all damage.
✦ You are unaware of your surroundings.
✦ You don’t age.

Prone

✦ You grant combat advantage to enemies making melee attacks against you.
✦ You get a +2 bonus to all defenses against ranged attacks from nonadjacent enemies.
✦ You’re lying on the ground. (If you’re flying, you safely descend a distance equal to your fly speed. If you don’t reach the ground, you fall.)
✦ You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls.
✦ You can drop prone as a minor action.

Restrained

✦ You grant combat advantage.
✦ You’re immobilized.
✦ You can’t be forced to move by a pull, a push, or a slide.
✦ You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls.

Slowed

✦ Your speed becomes 2. This speed applies to all your movement modes, but it does not apply to teleportation or to a pull, a push, or a slide. You can’t increase your speed above 2, and your speed doesn’t increase if it was lower than 2. If you’re slowed while moving, stop moving if you have already moved 2 or more squares.
