Tragic Lament
A cried-out verse of doom moves your attacker to guilty mercy, softening a would-be critical hit into an ordinary one.
Trigger A creature you're aware of critically succeeds on a Strike against you and would deal damage to you.
Frequency once per 10 minutes
You dramatically cry out in poetic verse about the tragedies that led to your doom at this very moment, instilling guilt in your attacker. The Strike deals normal damage rather than critical damage as your foe relents on their attack at the last moment as they're moved by your words, though other effects that happen on a critical hit still occur. The creature that made the triggering Strike must then succeed on a save against your Class DC or be Slowed 1 for 1 round by guilt at its actions against you.
