second chance

One of my recent skills just reinforced that and had been part of the reason I’d considered this trip in the first place.

Second Chance (Passive) LV1 EXP: 0.00%
The ability to survive, drawing upon one’s innermost stores of power to continue fighting after an otherwise lethal blow. By using one’s Aura to activate important portions of the body, the user of this skill can survive an attack that would reduce his HP to 0 with 1 HP remaining.
This technique may only be used if the damage caused by the attack is no more than 1000 points higher than the user’s remaining HP.
Second Chance may only be used once a day.

Of all the skills I’d received from raising my physical stats, Second Chance was perhaps the best one; it kept me alive, after all. A thousand points of damage wasn’t as much wiggle room as I might like and the daily limit seemed rather harsh—from the perspective of someone who’d die if those conditions were broken, that is—but it was still an amazing skill. With my various defensive skills especially, I was fairly confident in my relative safety.
