I both recently started using DDB and playing D&D in general but I noticed in the conditions on the character sheet you can apply a bunch of different things like blinded, deafened, etc. However I didn't see Silenced and I was just wondering if that's something that's missing from the sheet or if it's not actually a condition you can fall under?
The conditions section only includes the items defined by WotC as conditions in the appendix of the basic rules/PHB. There are other things that people consider conditions, like Silenced, concentrating, etc, but they're not official conditions.

Note that Blindness/Deafness is cast on a creature, which becomes blinded and deafened as a result, but Silence is cast on an area - a creature in that area is not technically silenced, since they can simply move out of the area. As such, silenced is not really a condition in the game.
Okay now I understand, this was actually very helpful because I had noticed that in a few spells but am now seeing that it's not targeted silence but an area like you said. Thanks a bunch! ^_^
