Aura of the Quiet Threshold
As a bonus action, you manifest a 10-foot aura of dim, muffled shadow for 1 minute—a space where life and death hesitate.
Within this aura:
- Allies cannot be reduced to 0 HP outright
- When they would drop to 0 HP, they instead drop to 1 HP (once per creature per aura)
- Stabilized creatures within the aura regain HP equal to your PB at the start of their turn
⚫ Here, death waits its turn.
Stay Awhile
Once while the aura is active, when a creature within your aura fails a death saving throw or would die outright, you may use your reaction:
- They instead automatically stabilize and stand up with HP equal to 2 × PB
- Until their next short rest:
- They have Disadvantage on death saving throws.
- Each Stabilization by using Stay Awhile will automatically hinder the target by 1 death saving throw.
Burden of the Shepherd
- While the aura is active, you appear unnaturally close to death:
- Your skin pales, your voice dulls, your presence chills the air
- Creatures (especially NPCs) may feel uneasy, fearful, or mournful around you
- Small animals may avoid you, and the dying may instinctively reach toward you
