I have this idea of allowing players to reducing incoming damage by taking on a condition…
Kind of play on the Pushing the Roll mechanic

I was thinking of allowing them to reduce the damage by half by taking a condition ..

What do you all think?

Hmmmm... interesting. I don't think it would "break" anything. If they do it to often, we'll those conditions with start to add up quickly. Give it a whirl.

if you want to keep it more inline with the default condition mechanic you could offer to re-roll the incoming damage dice in exchange for a condition. or reduce by a d6 instead of fixed value.

It does add more time, but flat reduction is a tad bit to safe and boring imo

If they re-roll, you’ve taken a condition and they’ve got a chance to roll even more damage.
