Class talent

This is a Rogue Talent — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.

(Ex) When a rogue with this talent reduces a creature to fewer than 0 hp with precision damage, she can choose to leave that creature at -1 hp and stable.
