By using this power, a Jedi may call upon the Force to reduce the amount of injury he suffers; this power is normally only used in desperation because of its long-term repercussions.
When the power is successfully used, the Jedi loses a Force Point. Any injury that is suffered is reduced to wounded. If the original injury would have killed the character, he must choose to suffer a permanent injury of some kind.
Note: Spending Force Points in this manner not at the beginning of the round – is allowed. Also, it is not always a “selfish” act to save one’s own life, so the character might be able to get the Force Point back. If the character was fighting to save others from doom and fails – and if he falls, they certainly die – this would be considered a heroic action because it involves a great sacrifice.
