Cheat Death
Fatal attacks instead reduce your health to set %. Afterwards you take reduced damage. Triggers once per 10 min. For hardcore or sloppy players.

- health per second (for limited duration)

All config values are server synced.
Cooldown
Cheat Death ability takes some time to recover. This time is tied to the world where you died. It means player will have different cooldown in different worlds.
There is console command setcheatdeathcooldown [seconds] to manually set cooldown.
Cooldown is based on a world time by default. It could be changed to use global real time instead.
Icon replace
Put file CheatDeath.png next to plugin main file CheatDeath.dll and it will be loaded as status effect icon instead of regular skull icon.
Installation (manual)
copy CheatDeath.dll to your BepInEx\Plugins\ folder.
Incompatibility
Mod should be compatible with anything.
Configurating
The best way to handle configs is Configuration Manager.
Or Official BepInEx Configuration Manager.
