! Description
|-
| Ability damage
| {{anchor|Ability damage| }}Reduces a creature's [[ability scores]] ([[Strength|Str]], [[Dexterity|Dex]], [[Intelligence|Int]], [[Constitution|Con]], [[Wisdom|Wis]], [[Charisma|Cha]]) making it less effective. If a creature's [[constitution]] ability score reaches 0, they die, while if any other ability score reaches 0, they instead become incapacitated.
|-
| Ability drain
| {{anchor|Ability drain| }}Similar to Ability damage, but harder to heal.
|-
| Bleeding
| {{anchor|Bleeding| }}This creature takes hit point damage each turn. Bleeding can be stopped through the application of any spell that cures hit point damage (even if the bleed is ability damage).
|-
| Blinded
| {{anchor|Blinded| }}The character cannot see. He takes a -2 penalty to [[Armor Class]], loses his [[Dexterity]] bonus to AC (if any), takes a -4 penalty on Search checks and on most [[Strength]]- and [[Dexterity]]-based skill checks. All opponents are considered to have total [[concealment]] (50% miss chance) to the blinded character.
|-
| Charmed

|-
| Confused
| {{anchor|Confused| }}Confused creature is mentally befuddled and cannot act normally. A confused creature cannot tell the difference between ally and foe, treating all creatures as enemies. If a confused creature is attacked, it attacks the creature that last attacked it until that creature is dead or out of sight.

|}
A confused creature who can't carry out the indicated action does nothing but babble incoherently. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking a confused creature.
|-
| Dazed

A dazed condition typically lasts 1 round.

|-
| Death's Door
| {{anchor|Death's Door| }}Character is at the death's door, and escaped a deadly blow only by sheer luck.

|-
| Entangled
| {{anchor|Entangled| }}The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.
|-
| Exhausted
| {{anchor|Exhausted| }}An exhausted character moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity.

|-
| Energy Drained
| {{anchor|Energy Drained| }}The character gains one or more negative levels, which might permanently drain the character's levels. If the subject has at least as many negative levels as [[Hit Dice]], he dies. Each negative level gives a creature the following penalties: -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, combat maneuvers bonuses and defenses; loss of 5 hit points; and -1 to effective level (for determining the power-dice, duration, chance to penetrate spell resistance, and other details of spells or special abilities). Negative levels stack.
|-
| Fatigued
| {{anchor|Fatigued| }}A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a –2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become [[#Exhausted|exhausted]]. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued.
|-
| [[Flat-Footed|Flat-footed]]
| {{anchor|Flat-footed| }}A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, unable to react normally to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus to AC and Combat Maneuver Defense (if any) and cannot make [[attack of opportunity|attacks of opportunity]], unless he has the [[Combat Reflexes]] feat or [[Uncanny Dodge]] class ability.

Characters with Uncanny Dodge retain their Dexterity bonus to their AC and can make attacks of opportunity before they have acted in the first round of combat {{n-}} they still lose Dexterity bonus if they are Held, [[#Paralyzed|Paralyzed]], [[#Immobilized|immobilized]], or [[#Helpless|helpless]] in anyway.
|-
| Frightened

Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity, also a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.
|-
| Helpless
| {{anchor|Helpless| }}A helpless character is [[#Paralyzed|paralyzed]], held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent's mercy. A helpless target is treated as having a Dexterity of 0 (-5 modifier). Melee attacks against a helpless target get a +4 bonus (equivalent to attacking a prone target).
