Condition — Unconscious

You are knocked out and unaware of your surroundings.

Mechanical Effects:

• You are Off-Guard (-2 circumstance to AC)
• You are Blinded (can't see)
• You can't take any actions, reactions, or free actions
• You fall Prone if you were standing
• You drop anything you were holding
• You can't perceive your surroundings (except through special senses)

How Applied:

• Dropping to 0 HP (you also gain the Dying condition)
• Sleep effects (magical or natural)
• Nonlethal damage reducing HP to 0
• Certain knockout abilities

How Removed:

• Waking up: If unconscious from sleep, you wake from significant disturbance (shaking, loud noise) or after a full rest
• Healing: If at 0 HP, receiving any healing that brings you above 0 HP wakes you
• Recovery Check: If Dying, succeeding on Recovery Checks eventually stabilizes you at 0 HP — you remain Unconscious but no longer Dying

Unconscious at 0 HP: When reduced to 0 HP, you are Unconscious AND Dying 1 (+ Wounded value if applicable). You remain Unconscious even after you stabilize (stop Dying) until you receive healing or rest.

Important Notes:

• An Unconscious creature that stabilizes is still at 0 HP and Unconscious — they need healing to act
• Taking damage while Unconscious and at 0 HP increases your Dying value
• You are an easy target — Off-Guard and unable to defend
