Assorted Houserules
Death effects and abilities like Breath Of Life
Change
These abilities can now save a character from a death effect, but need to successfully counteract to work. the triggering death effect (Normal rules for determining the rank apply)
Reason
Death effects are rare, abilites that stop a character from dying are equally rare, and always cost not-insignificant resources. This change allows a final glimmer of hope for an otherwise dead character.
