5E - Exhaustion
The 5E PHB rules as written six levels of exhaustion are NOT used.
Instead, the Exhaustion condition ranges from level 1 to 10. For each level of exhaustion, the creature suffers a -1 on all D20 checks. This includes ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws, including death saves.
During a long rest, make a CON DC 10 save to recover 1 point of exhaustion. If the save is failed by 5+, lose a point of exhaustion. Save modifiers:
