Health Gate (no oneshot when healthy)

[killthesun]

Health gate is a mechanic from Borderlands that can be roughly summed up like this:

When your health is above 50%, you can't die in one hit.

Instead of dying, you live with like 5% of your health and you get a couple seconds of invulnerability.

 

Health gate is great. Instead of the "this is dumb" feeling of getting oneshot, you get the adrenaline rush of nearly dying.

Also, it balances the game by making enemies that were designed for a stronger character somewhat fightable. Could be especially helpful for harmonizing uneven mods.
