Conditions

The full lexicon — every condition that can be inscribed on a writ, filed under the same drawers the editor uses. The color says what a condition does: Filter narrows the targets, Gate asks a yes-or-no about the actor, Prefer favors without pruning, and Prioritize ranks by a measure. The four kinds are explained in The Four Condition Kinds.

HP

Condition	What it asks
HP Full	The target has taken no damage.
HP Not Full	The target has taken at least some damage.
HP Below 75%	The target is below three quarters of its health.
HP Below 50%	The target is below half health.
HP Below 25%	The target is below a quarter of its health.
HP At Or Above 50%	The target still holds at least half its health.
HP At Or Above 75%	The target still holds at least three quarters of its health.
HP At Or Above 25%	The target still holds at least a quarter of its health.
Prefer Wounded	Favor targets that have taken damage.

Formation & Situation

Condition	What it asks
Always	Matches every target.
Front Row	The target stands in the front row.
Back Row	The target stands in the back row.
Left Column	The target stands in the left column.
Center Column	The target stands in the center column.
Right Column	The target stands in the right column.
Full Row	Every column of the target's row is occupied.
Full Column	Both rows of the target's column are occupied.
Row With Most Combatants	The target stands in the most crowded row.
Prefer Full Column	Favor a target whose column is occupied in both rows, but settle for a lone one.
Row Holds 2 Or More	At least two reachable targets share the target's row.
Airborne	Only a foe hanging in the air from an ally's launch.
Prefer Front Row	Favor front-row targets, but settle for the back row.
Prefer Back Row	Favor back-row targets, but settle for the front row.

Coordination

These read the round's shared ledger: every soldier that acts claims its target, and the claims are wiped as each new round begins. "Ally" always means the actor's own side. The Marked status answers these four as well — a marked body reads exactly as one an ally has already attacked, which is what Mark Target is for.

Condition	What it asks
Not Targeted By Ally	No other unit on the actor's side has acted on this target this round, and the target is not marked.
Targeted By Ally	Another unit on the actor's side has already acted on this target this round, or the target is marked.
Prefer Untargeted	Favor targets no ally has acted on this round and that are not marked, but settle for one that is.
Prefer Focus Fire	Favor targets an ally has already acted on this round, or that are marked, but settle for a fresh one.

AP & PP

Condition	What it asks
No AP	The target has spent all of its action points.
No PP	The target has spent all of its passive points.
Prefer Spent	Favor targets that have no action points left.

Status Effects

These read the status effects clinging to the target. Every applier gets a "Not" filter so a rule can stop re-stacking a status the target already carries; the "Is" filters and preference are for pressing an advantage the affliction opens.

Condition	What it asks
Target Is Poisoned	The target is poisoned.
Target Not Poisoned	The target is not poisoned yet.
Target Is Stunned	The target is stunned and will lose its next action.
Target Not Stunned	The target is not stunned yet.
Target Not Burning	The target is not burning yet.
Target Not Blinded	The target is not blinded yet.
Target Not Guard Sealed	The target's guard is not sealed yet.
Target Not Regenerating	The target is not regenerating.
Target Is Marked	The target is marked.
Target Not Marked	The target is not marked yet.
Prefer Stunned	Favor stunned targets, but settle for another.
Prefer Marked	Favor marked targets, but settle for another.

Own Squad HP Below 75%	The actor's own squad has lost a quarter of its combined health.
Own Squad HP Below 50%	The actor's own squad has lost half its combined health.

Condition	What it asks

Second Action	This is the actor's second action of the battle.
Third Action	This is the actor's third action of the battle.
Own Poisoned	The actor is poisoned.
Own Burning	The actor is burning.

There is deliberately no "Own Stunned" gate: a stunned soldier loses its action outright, so no rule of its writ is ever consulted while the stun holds — the gate could never fire.

Combatant Type

One filter and one preference for every class in the game, plus the same pair for each broader role. A role condition keeps working as new classes join the roster: "Prefer Healer" means "kill the menders first" no matter what the menders are called.

Two lookalikes worth telling apart

Row With Most Combatants is satisfied by whoever stands in the most crowded row — even if every row holds just one straggler. Row Holds 2 Or More demands an actual crowd: at least two reachable targets sharing the row. When you want a sweep to pay for itself, ask for the crowd.
