Staring death in the face gives you a surge of adrenaline. You may spend Hit Dice to regain Hit Points as per a Short Rest. You are unaffected by the Incapacitated and Stunned conditions.

20 Adrenaline Surge At the end of the combat the Adrenaline Surge ends: your Hit Points drop to 0 and you are Unconscious [short rest] and gain 1 level of Exhaustion. Gain 1 Hit Point

If this result occurs twice in the same combat you go Berserk: you gain Advantage on all attacks, however you are disoriented as if affected by a Confusion spell.
