Frightened Condition - D&D Portal Wiki

What It Is

Frightened is a condition: a temporary game state that changes a creature's capabilities.

This page is a compact play reference. If a spell, feature, monster, item, or DM ruling gives a more specific instruction, use that specific instruction.

How To Use It

Apply frightened when a spell, feature, monster, hazard, or ruling imposes it. Track the duration or the rule that ends it.

Limits And Rolls

You have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of fear is in line of sight.
You cannot willingly move closer to the source of fear.
The condition itself is not a roll; the effect that causes it tells you whether to roll an attack, saving throw, ability check, or nothing.
