In times of most need, you come through. Whether it be protecting an ally or pummeling an enemy into dust, you will see that it gets done. Once per day, if your whole party is below 50% life, you may activate Dark Desperation and choose one of the following:
Destruction
You must destroy this foe, no matter what it might cost you. Choose any foe that you are in combat with. As long as they are conscious, all your attacks deal 50% more damage to them and you gain +3 AC when they attack you. Ends when you destroy target foe.
Protection
An ally you hold close to you is on the brink of dying. You won't let them happen. Pick any ally that you are currently sided with (can include yourself). While you are within 5 feet of an ally, they gain +4 AC, and you may choose to take 50% of the damage they would suffer from an attack. Any healing performed on the target heals for 50% more (rounded up). Ends when target reaches at least 75% of their max life.
However, this sudden power comes at a price. At the beginning of each of your turns, you take damage equal to your current level if Dark Determination is active.
