For example, most conditions consist of some combination of:1. adv/disadv on ability checks2. adv/disadv on attacks3. adv/disadv on attacks against you4. adv/disadv on a type of saving throw5. auto-fail a type of saving throw6. can't take an action7. speed halved8. speed reduced to zero9. close range hits against you become crits10. you can't see11. you can't be seen12. you can't hearAnd then there are some conditional versions of these (e.g., frightened impairs your movement in a particular way that isn't a flat reduction to speed). We have Blinded = (2)+(3)+(10)Deafened = (12)Grappled = (8)Incapacitated = (6)Invisible = (2)+(3)+(11)Paralyzed = (3)+(5)+(5)+(6)+(8)+(9)Petrified = (3)+(5)+(5)+(6)+(8)+(special)Poisoned = (1)+(2)Prone = (2)+(3*)+(7)Restrained = (2)+(3)+(4)+(8)Stunned = (3)+(5)+(5)+(6)Unconscious = (3*)+(5)+(5)+(6)+(8)+(9)Exhaustion 1: (1)Exhaustion 2: (1)+(7)Exhaustion 3: (1)+(7)+(2)+(4)+(4)+(4)Exhaustion 4: (1)+(7)+(2)+(4)+(4)+(4)+(special)Exhaustion 5: (1)+(7)+(2)+(4)+(4)+(4)+(8)+(special)I would probably bin these ingredients into:Trivial: (12)Minor: (1), (4), (7)Moderate: (8), (10), (11)Major: (2), (3), (5), (9)Severe: (6)</blockquote>
