Gain resistance to slashing and vulnerability to thunder

The Glassbound “Death” state

Shatterfall is what happens when a Glassbound creature hits 0 HP.

But unlike normal death saves, this is a metamorphic state, not a dying one.

Think of it as:

• a chrysalis
• a magical stasis
• a divine error message
• a moment of emotional overload

It's the curse trying to "complete" the subject - and the subject resisting.

Your aura is based on the emotion you last felt as you fell:

✧ Fear Aura

Enemies within 10 ft must make a Wisdom save or become frightened.

✧ Rage Aura

Creatures within 10 ft take fire/radiant damage each turn.

✧ Grief Aura

Allies within 10 ft gain temporary HP or resistance.

✧ Defiance Aura

Enemies have disadvantage on attacks against her allies.

While in this state, you are aware completely. Choose one of these effects on the turn after your fall:

✧ A. Reconstitute

She reforms, regaining HP equal to her proficiency bonus × 2.
Her aura persists for 1 round.

✧ B. Burst

She explodes in a controlled blast of glass and light.

• deals damage in a radius
• knocks enemies back
• leaves her at 1 HP
• ends the Shatterfall state

✧ C. Cocoon

She remains crystallized for 1–3 rounds.
At the end, she returns with:

• full HP
• a temporary buff
• a new crack pattern (cosmetic or mechanical)

If you are struck while in this state: 

you automatically take crit damage, cracks spread, you risk permanent mutations.
