====== Undying Resilience ====== ^Power: |4| ^Casting Time: |4 seconds| ^Range: |Touch| ^Target: |Creature touched| ^Duration: |End of Encounter| ^Provokes: |[[unbound:actions:Counterattack]]| You protect yourself, or another creature you touch, with a shield against death. The creature touched gains forty temporary stamina---fifty if you are Level 5---and cannot fail a [[unbound:rules:health_and_damage#Survival saving throw]] if made immediately after the current encounter. The target of the spell also takes favour on all saving throws against spells or effects that inflict Vital damage. Further, damage that the target of the spell takes is always applied first to their temporary stamina, even if it would normally be applied directly to hit points.
