In Pathfinder: Kingmaker numerous conditions exist that can be inflicted on creatures and characters and affect them by changing, for example, Attributes, Armor Class (AC) or their speed. If one of your characters is affected by one or several conditions those are shown as little symbols on the right side of the character's portrait. Conditions are also shown in the lower right corner of the character screen. Often the condition itself is not shown, but the spell or ability that is affecting the character. Hover over the symbol and read the tooltip to find out what condition the spell is inflicting on the character.
Until all conditions are added to this Wiki you can find a list of all Pathfinder conditions as defined by the PnP rules here. Most of the descriptions should be accurate.

In addition, anytime they cast a spell, they must make a caster level check (1d20 + their caster level) against this spell resistance. On a successful check, the spell is completed and the spellcaster's spell resistance is removed until the start of their next turn. Failure indicates they failed to muster up enough magical energy to cast the spell, but the spell is not lost and may be attempted again. | 57 | |||||||||||
