They are then exposed to extreme heat and fail their CON saving throw. If a creature already has a level of exhaustion, they continue to gain additional levels.įor example, when your Berserker Barbarian comes out of their Frenzied Rage, they will gain one level of exhaustion. When a creature fails a saving throw against exhaustion, they gain one or more levels of exhaustion, depending on the effect. It is described as a result of eating too little, traveling too far and too fast, or exposure to extreme environments. Exhaustion is featured prominently in the Dungeon Master’s Guide Chapter 8: Adventuring. While this may sound familiar, exhaustion works differently than other conditions because there are 6 different levels that have effects that stack based on how many times the creature has been exposed to the exhausted condition and how many times they have failed their save.Įxhaustion is unique when compared to other conditions because, first and foremost, it is a condition to represent the effects of pushing one’s self beyond normal limits. The way exhaustion works is similar to other conditions in that when a creature is exposed to a catalyst for exhaustion, they are required to make a Constitution saving throw or become afflicted by the condition. Terriers and Retrievers are on my list of potential design additions.Exhaustion, much like Poisoned or Grappled, is a condition that can be applied to a creature when they are exposed to particularly draining circumstances in D&D 5e.
Let me know if you decide to add it to your own.
We’re using the Herding Dog in our campaign. The minor changes give this dog a different identity, stay at the same power level, and give Ambrose a friend that isn’t purely a means to biting enemies. There’s a small dip in strength, constitution, and damage with the most significant boosts being adding Animal Handling (to embrace the ability to make the herd go places) and Pack Tactics (to represent that herding dogs often work in groups). The desire with the Herding Dog was to not have an increase in power for a medium canine, but represent how shepherds, collies, sheepdogs, and other AKC Herding Group members are different from the working group types that the Mastiff embraces. Inspired by Ambrose, the ranger in the game where my dwarven axe-wizard Awf slings spells and swings a battle axe like some kind of D&D version of John Casey, the Herding Dog leapt into existence. Belgian Shepherd by Fouquier ॐ declared public domain at In the standard rules the “ Mastiff” represents all of these.īut not every dog is a mass of muscle, teeth, and bark. The Ranger with a hunting dog the halfling riding a wolfhound the dogs guarding the entry to the castle - all have status as tropes. Animal companions are a tradition in Dungeons & Dragons.
