The Essence of Heroism: Defying Death
What if your final moments could be your most heroic? In this supplement for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, the rules of death itself bend, offering you one last chance to seize the spotlight, to defy fate, and to leave a mark on the world before your time runs out.
"The Essence of Heroism: Defying Death" introduces Death Saving Throw Actions, Last Actions, and a bold set of new mechanics that put the power back in the hands of the dying. No longer are your final breaths spent passively rolling dice—now, you can whisper vital secrets to allies, crawl toward an objective, or even stand one last time to shield your friends from harm. Defy the odds and make your last act count!
In this journey beyond the veil, death is not simply an end, but a canvas for dramatic, tragic, or even epic scenes. Whether your campaign is one of valor, sacrifice, or defiance, these new mechanics will allow you to experience stories where even the dying are not without agency.
