This aura or ability would target one or some of your creatures and give it 'last chance' effect (perhaps lasting only one or two rounds).

Last chance is a trigger which happens if a creature is about to die in combat - instead, it survives the hit of the enemy and stays alive on 1 VE point (losing the last chance buff and dying in case someone else attacks soon after)

I love this. Do suicide angiens also come under this or is it only an enemy hit?

Heh, didn't think about that.

I would say it should work with angiens too, but I'm not too convinced about it.

It's been a while, but an angien with just 1 VE would do nothing in the next round, wouldn't it?

 

It'd give a nice twist to ritual creation to purposely use suicide angiens to take out the strongest enemy, and have it still standing afterwards, resulting in a 99-100 win... i'd probably give up a slot for that in some cases, sounds like a nice idea to me
