{{3.5e Feat
|name=Death's Apprentice
|types=Grim
|summary=You may absorb damage taken by an ally instantly if it would otherwise kill him.
|prereqs=[[Grim (3.5e Class)#Grim Transformation|Grim Transformation]], [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] (religion) 6 ranks
|benefit=In your study of death, you have begun to be able to choose who lives and dies, but at the risk of your own well-being. When a creature dies (reduced to -10 or less for living creatures or 0 for [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]] and [[SRD:Construct Type|constructs]]) of hit point damage within 30 feet, you may as an [[SRD:Immediate Actions|immediate action]] absorb the extra damage that would have killed the creature, taking that damage yourself and leaving the creature at -9 and stable (or 1 for [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]] and [[SRD:Construct Type|constructs]]). Regardless of any immunities or resistances you may have to the damage taken by the creature, you take the full extra damage amount.
|normal=
|special=This ability only works if the target creature is willing. Forms of harm that do not involve [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]], such as ''[[SRD:Charm Subschool|charm]] ''effects, temporary [[SRD:Ability Score Loss#Ability Damage|ability damage]] (including a reduction in [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]), [[SRD:Energy Drain, Negative Levels, and Level Loss|level draining]], and [[SRD:Death Effect|death effects]], are not affected by this ability.<br/>
If the creature uses a variant system or otherwise doesn't die at the given numbers, it still stabilizes one hit point away from death as normal.
