Exhaustion

Some special abilities and environmental hazards such as starvation and the long-term effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is mesaured in six levels as below.

If an already exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount specified in the effect's description.

A creature suffers the effect of its current exhaustion level, and all levels below it.

An effect that removes exhaustion reduces its level as specified in the effect's description, with all exhaustion effects ending if the creatures exhaustion level is reduced below 1.

Finishing a long rest reduces a creature's exhaustion level by 1, provided the creature also ingested some food and drink.
