  Description
Adventures in Mostly Faerun are dangerous. There's a reason that average citizens aren't out fighting packs of kobolds and stealing magical artifacts, it's really a rough time.   When characters in Mostly Faerun are knocked unconscious (reach 0 HP), they immediately gain 1 level of Exhaustion. A character's Exhaustion level is reduced by 1 for each Long Rest the character takes, assuming they have access to food and clean drinking water throughout the rest period. The effects of Exhaustion are listed below:
Level Effect
1 Disadvantage on Ability Checks
2 Speed Halved
3 Disadvantage on Attack Rolls / Saving Throws
4 HP Max Halved
5 Speed Becomes 0
6 Death
