Fascinated

Condition Severity: Strong

   You stand entranced, unable to do anything but devote your attention to the thing which Fascinates you.

Effects

• You cannot take any actions except some free actions (such as saving throws), though some free actions are simply not possible (such as speaking).
• You take a -4 penalty to skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks.

Ended By

If the ability, trap, or effect description includes specific directions for how the condition is ended, then that is the primary means of ending this condition. In many cases, it is the only way to end the condition. If nothing is specifically listed for ending the condition, then the following methods can be used to end it, instead:

• If anything potentially threatens you, such as a hostile creature approaching or the sounds of nearby combat, you may make a new saving throw at the same DC as the original effect.
• If you are threatened by something obvious, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell or aiming a ranged weapon at you, the Fascinated condition immediately ends.
• Alternatively, an adjacent ally may spend a standard action to shake you free of the effect, immediately ending the Fascinated condition.
