Drawing On A Grid
How you draw an area of effect on a grid differs depending on if the effect describes its area with a radius, such as
the storm grenade, or if it declares the area as a diameter, such as the vortex grenade. The diagram below shows
how to draw both of these areas assuming you have a traditional 5-foot grid. If an effect’s area touches a gridspace,
all targets in that gridspace are affected by it.
Radius. You draw the area of the effect starting from the center of a gridspace and measuring outward in all
directions. Effects with a radius must be centered on a gridspace; you cannot position them along a gridline, or at
the intersection of two gridlines.
Diameter. The effect’s area must fit wholly within a square that has been drawn starting from the intersection of
two gridlines. The length of all the square’s sides must be equal in length to the diameter of the effect.

the save and what happens on a success or failure.

Exhaustion
Some special abilities and environmental hazards,
such as starvation and the long-term effects of
freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a
special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is
measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature
one or more levels of Exhaustion, as specified in the
effect's description.
If an already exhausted creature suffers another
effect that causes Exhaustion, their current level of
Exhaustion increases by the amount specified in the
effect's description.
A creature suffers the effect of their current level
of Exhaustion as well as all lower levels. For
example, a creature suffering level 2 Exhaustion has
their speed halved and has disadvantage on ability
checks.
An effect that removes Exhaustion reduces its
level as specified in the effect's description, and all
exhaustion effects end if a creature's Exhaustion
level is reduced below 1.
Finishing a long rest reduces a creature's
Exhaustion level by 1, provided the creature has
also ingested some form of sustenance appropriate
for their species.
Effects of Exhaustion

CHAPTER 9: ADVENTURING
Modifiers
As you delve into strange and untamed Light and Darkness zones, you may come across an area where the
forces of Light and Darkness are actively clashing with each other, creating what is colloquially referred to as a
‘modifier’ to the area. These paracausal effects can be both beneficial and harmful, and sometimes
astounding—or terrifying.
Modifiers only apply to creatures while they are in the area of those modifiers’ effects.

succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or fall Prone at the end of their turn.
Creatures that are reduced to 0 hit points immediately accumulate 3 failed death saving
throws or RTL saving throws.
Halve the amount of arc or lightning damage dealt.
