5e Rule Questions?

I want to keep 5e-specific questions separate from the anything-goes OOC topic so they can all be grouped in a single place. I don't know how much (or how little) experience you each have with 5e and don't want to assume everyone knows every rule. Or knows all the rules correctly.

If you have any -- literally, any -- questions about how something works (e.g. rule mechanic, class feature, racial ability, spell effect, etc...), don't hesitate to post them here.

See here:

Exhaustion comes in levels, which are increasingly debilitating.

For your current 1 level of exhaustion, you have disadvantage on ability checks (not attack rolls or saving throws), meaning you roll two d20s and take the worse one. You will recover one level as soon as we take a long rest.
