Question 15

Answer 15

An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as specified in the effect’s description:

1 Disadvantage on ability checks
2 Speed halved
3 Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws
4 Hit point maximum halved
5 Speed reduced to 0
6 Death

A creature suffers the effect of its current level of
exhaustion as well as all lower levels.

If an exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount in the effect’s description.

Finishing a long rest reduces a creature’s exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested some food and drink.
