The following status effects may apply to a creature:

Blind: You can’t see, and therefore can’t detect creatures visually. All targets have total concealment against you. You are flat-footed.

Dead: You suffer all the effects of unconsciousness, and any spells you have Bound are released. You can only be cured of this condition by effects that explicitly cure death.

Encumbered: You move at half speed, and your jump distance is halved.

Grappled: All other characters in the grapple encumber you as though you were carrying them, and you suffer a penalty of 1 on attack rolls against targets not in the grapple. You can't cast spells with somatic components.

Paralyzed: You can't take actions other than mental actions. You are stationary.

Prone: You suffer a penalty of 1 on attack rolls with melee weapons, and get cover against ranged attacks. You can only move at half speed. You can stop being prone by taking the stand up action. Flying creatures cannot be prone; if an airborne creature would become prone due to an instantaneous effect, it moves downwards a distance equal to its Aerobatics distance instead. Swimming creatures are also incapable of being prone, and sink a distance equal to their size instead.

Stunned: You can’t take actions, including mental actions. You drop everything you’re holding. You are stationary.

Unconscious: You can’t take actions, including mental actions. You drop everything you’re holding and fall prone. You are stationary.

Shriveled: All of your movement speeds decrease by 2 meters, and you get -1 Toughness.

On Fire: At the end of your turn, you suffer 1d6-1 Heat damage. If this does not inflict any wounds, the damage on later rounds gets a cumulative +1 increase, which resets when a wound is finally inflicted. When a wound is inflicted, flames leap from you, making an attack versus Armor against each other flammable object or creature in your space; targets hit are lit on fire. Anyone can Stop Drop and Roll to put out flames.

Chilled: Skip a move action on each of your turns. Creatures that attempt to walk on you must succeed on a DC 10 Acrobatics check or fall Prone.
