Trigger You would be reduced to 0 Hit Points (but not immediately killed) during a combat encounter that has spectators.
Nothing can stop you as long as you have an audience cheering you on. The attention reinvigorates you and keeps you from being knocked out. You remain at 1 Hit Point, and your
wounded condition increases by 1.
In addition, attempt a
Performance check; the DC is determined by the GM but is typically the
standard DC for your level or the DC to
Make an Impression on the spectators, whichever is higher. On a success, the crowd erupts in applause and cheers at your comeback, much to the dismay of your enemies. Concern for the crowd's reaction should your opponent deliver a finishing blow gives you a +1 circumstance bonus to AC until the end of your next turn. On a critical success, you don't expend your daily use of Living for the Applause and can use the reaction an additional time on the same day.
