Limit Breaks are powerful combat moves that scale with level and each class has access to their own unique version.
Mechanics
When a character is reduced to 50% hp or lower they may activate their limit break on their next available turn. If they do not activate their limit at that time it is lost. Limits are only usable once per day and cannot be used again until the player gets 8 hours of sleep. Activating a Limit Break is a standard action and last until the end of the round unless otherwise noted. All saves are equal to 10+level. Limit breaks are considered Supernatural Abilities.
If multiclassing you get the limit of your favored class. If you have two favored classes, you select one at the first time you take a second favored class, once made this decision cannot be changed.
