General Rules: Feats - Take It Like a Man

Take It Like a Man [General] (adapted from Wildscape)
You can stave off the effects of pain, magical attacks, and other hindrances for a moment by focusing your concentration on the task at hand.
   Prerequisites: Endurance.
   Benefit: When you suffer the ill effects of a poison or spell, supernatural effect, or spell-like ability that confers an effect or condition other than hit point damage, you can temporarily shrug off the ffect. After resolving your saving throw, make a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw regardless of the save type you used to resist the attack. If this save succeeds, you do not suiffer the effects until after your next action. Your physical toughness and mental focus allow you to stave off the effects for a few, critical moments. After the duration passes, the spell, poison, or effect takes hold as normal. As with any saving throws, you can opt to automatically fail this check if you wish.

If a spell or effect hits you during your action and this feat successfully activates, you complete your current action as normal and the effect takes hold at the end of your next action.
