Compatibility

This content was written to be compatible with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. It makes the following modifications from the Systems Reference Document:

  • “Species” is used in place of “race” and “ancestry” or “variant” in place of “subrace”.
  • This document uses new traits called Condition Resistance and Condition Vulnerability. Resistance to a condition means that a creature has Advantage on Saving Throws made to resist that condition, and vulnerability to a condition means that a creature has Disadvantage on such Saving Throws.
  • Damage and condition resistance, vulnerability, and immunity are now grouped together as Resistances, Vulnerabilities, and Immunities respectively.
  • Resistance, vulnerability, and immunity to Poison apply to both the damage type and the Poisoned condition.
