When an individual is Defeated, they are removed from combat and unable to participate further. A Defeated individual is Unconscious, Paralyzed, Knocked Down, and unable to take actions.
Defeated individuals are typically on the brink of death and unable to be restored without proper care or powerful magics. Simple healing effects which restore Vitality do not remove the Defeated condition.
An individual is Defeated when their Vitality is reduced to 0 or they have received a significant enough number of Afflictions.
