Introduction
Condition Cards have been designed as a game aid for players and gamemasters alike.
They have been formatted to print on any standard-size business card paper, or you can
just print them on cardstock and cut them out using the lines as guides.

Keep the cards handy and whenever your character is struck blind by a spell, knocked
prone by a powerful blow, or simply invisible thanks to a handy potion, you can pull out
the requisite card and – voila! – you have all the information you need to handle any
adjustments to die rolls, combat stats, skill checks, etc. When your condition ends,
simply return the card to the stack.
file
Gamemasters might even consider printing out two or three sets of these cards, as
multiple characters can sometimes be affected by the same condition.
