Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as his body hits the floors, he would trouble the world no longer. They were very shocked when a few minutes later, his body was no longer there.

This maneuver allows the initiator to restart their heart after it stopped beating. In order to use this maneuver it must be readied and not expended when the initiator is brought to -1 hit point or below. If the initiator is not dead, they immediately stabilize. At the start of each of their subsequent turns, the initiator returns to consciousness at 1 hit point with any non-lethal damage cured. Once this is done, the maneuver is expended and cannot be recovered for the encounter.

If the initiator is dead, she may attempt a DC 20 initiator level check. If she succeeds she returns to life 1d4 minutes later at 1 hit point and all non-lethal damage cured. The initiator does not suffer any level loss from being brought back from the dead this way. This only function if the initiator's body is in condition to be brought back as per raise dead. If the maneuver is expended this way it cannot be recovered for an entire day. If the check fails she dies for real.
