Your mind idles at its own unhurried pace, delaying action until the absolute last moment, and turning imminent panic into sudden, crystalline focus. Whether through a lifetime of academic cramming or an innate habit of waiting for the perfect opening, you thrive when the clock is ticking down. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Productive Delay. When you take the Ready action, you can add a d6 to one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw made as part of the triggered action. Additionally, if you ready a spell, holding its magic does not require your concentration.
- The Eleventh Hour. You enter a state of intense hyper-focus if you are below half your Hit Point maximum; if a creature scores a critical hit against you, or immediately after you fail a saving throw by 3 or more. While in this state, which lasts for 1 minute or until you fall unconscious, you add the modifier of the ability score you increased with this feat to Constitution saving throws you make to maintain concentration on a spell and to saving throws you make to avoid the Frightened or Charmed conditions. Once you use this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Optional Drawback. At the DM's discretion, this feat includes a penalty reflecting your chronic hesitation. You have disadvantage on initiative rolls unless you roll initiative while in the hyper-focused state granted by The Eleventh Hour.
