Shirt of the Valiant

If the wearer is slain by a melee attack, the wearer may fight (act in combat, either by physically attacking, casting a spell, or supporting other allies) for up to 2 more rounds in the same combat.

This item has no effect if the wearer is slain by a missile, spell, trap, puzzle, Push, or anything other than a melee attack.

This shirt does not prevent the character’s eventual death–it only delays death by up to two rounds. During the two “bonus” rounds, the wearer cannot be healed or resurrected. Any further HP damage will instantly kill the wearer. Status effects (Hold, Paralysis, etc.) during the “bonus” rounds affect the wearer the way they normally would, so unless they also deal HP damage, Status Effects won’t instantly kill the wearer.

Once the wearer is dead-dead and the “bonus” rounds are over, life-restoring effects may be used–but not before.

Erratum: This effect can only be used once per room
