Invictus

You're no stranger to the dangers of combat, and more than once you've been beaten beyond recognition. It is quite strange that you're the target of most attacks, but you've learned to ignore this and honed yourself to take the brunt of most blows. Despite the bludgeoning you regularly receive, you've learned to fight on and persevere through even the most difficult of encounters. While not bloodied (above one-half of your Hit Point Maximum), your AC is reduced by 1. While bloodied (when at half or less of your Hit Point Maximum), you gain the following effects:

• Your AC is increased by 3.
• You gain advantage on saving throws to resist status conditions or abilities that require you to roll a saving throw at the end of your turn.
• When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest. If you already have a feature that provides you with this effect, they are not stackable but you may ignore the long rest requirement, instead you gain 1 level of exhaustion for each use of this feature until you finish a long rest.

Inspired by William Ernest Henley's, 'Invictus'.
