Level 18: Last Stand

Starting at level 18, in your most desperate moments, you can muster your resolve to fight on when others can’t. When you are taken to zero hit points, you can choose to enter your last stand.

When you enter your last stand, you are granted 100 temporary hit points and you can continue to fight as normal. Any healing applied is applied to your temporary hit points, and not your base hit points. If your temporary hit points go down to zero, you die instantly skipping death saving throws. You cannot benefit from any other temporary hit point benefits from other sources during your last stand.

When combat ends, or if you go two rounds without dealing or taking damage, you must roll a d100. If you roll lower than your temporary hit points remaining, you fall unconscious, but are stable. If you roll higher than your temporary hit points remaining, you fall dead, succumbing to your wounds.
