Apply this as bonus damage to an attack roll you have successfully landed. Use this trait after landing the attack.</li> </ul>So desperation points are much more impactful than a single or two loss of AP. They are to represent that "the fight is going really hard, you’re beaten down, and in desperation, you are able to tap into resources to achieve extraordinary tasks."</blockquote>
