Since those conditions (hunger and thirst) come up so seldom, I have no problem with assigning fatigued/exhausted to them (and it does make some sense); adding more conditions just makes more things to keep track of.I'm thinking of doing something similar. I was batting around the idea of the "burst" weapon properties (the ones that currently do +1d10 damage) dealing +1d6 and a condition, like flaming burst setting the target on fire, or the shocking burst dazing the target for a couple rounds, but it might be a bit overpowered.It should probably go Dazed, Staggered, Stunned - dazed is a condition that can be rendered with a 0-level spell. Although, dazed and staggered need to be revised since the former is "can't take any actions" and the latter is "can only take one move or standard action a round". Stunned is stupidly overpowered, especially compared to those two. I think I'd change them all to:Dazed: The creature can take only a single move or standard action each round.Staggered: The creature is unable to take any actions and suffers a -2 penalty to AC, but is not considered flat-footed.Stunned: The creature is unable to take any actions and suffers a -4 penalty to AC. It has a 50% chance to drop anything held.(I changed flat-footed to a flat -4 penalty to AC instead of "lose your Dex bonus", so that's the reason stunned is like it is.)Oh, I know they are, and making them into progressions is a good idea - it helps clean things up and makes more sense. OTOH, you don't have to make everything a three-step progression - you're just adding a bunch of conditions that will rarely, if ever, come into play.</blockquote>
