Essence Loss

Certain injuries and effects can cause a creature to leak the energies that bond them together. When you suffer Essence Loss, increase your current level of Essence Loss by the amount specified. The effects of essence loss are given in the following table and persist as long as that level of essence loss is maintained:

Effects of Essence Loss
LevelEffects
0-2No appreciable Effect
3-4Weakened
5-6Comatose
7+ Destroyed

Ongoing Essence Loss

Ongoing Essence Loss effects work the same way as Ongoing Damage, with essence loss occurring immediately if the initial save is failed.

Healing Essence Loss

In addition to the effects of certain magical abilities, Essence Loss can be reduced by resting. After taking a long rest, make a resilience check [DC 20]. If you succeed the check reduce your Essence loss by one step. Failure indicates that your essence loss level does not decrease. When essence loss is reduced to less than 1, the condition is removed.

Regeneration: Regeneration has no effect on Essence Loss.
