Never know. Your ability can prevent you from getting killed in a Campaign but would also leave your party out to dry at the same time. Plus there are ways of preventing that ability from activating.

Patron’s Boon: When you fail a roll, you can spend 3 Hope to reroll with advantage.
Class feature
Patron’s Pact: You have committed yourself to a supernatural entity—such as a god, fae, or demon—in exchange for power. Write their name on your character sheet, then work with your GM to determine their sphere of influence (such as Nature, Chaos, Wisdom, Mischief, Love, War, Justice, or Death). Before making an action roll that relates to your patron’s sphere of influence, you can spend a Favor to call upon their aid, rolling your Patron Die and adding its result to the total. Your Patron Die starts at a d6 and increases to a d8 at level 5.
Favor: You start with 3 Favor. You can use a downtime move to show tribute to your patron. Describe how and gain Favor equal to your Spellcast trait. Additionally, when you succeed on an action roll with Hope, you can choose to gain a Favor instead of a Hope. Note: The maximum Favor you can hold at one time is 6.
Foundation features

Ancestry Perks:

Confusion: Range: Close and deals D4 + 2 Magic(Psychic) damage. On successful hit, roll a D10. A result of 10 confuses the target unless they have Own Tempo Ability.
Disarming Voice: Range: Very Close and deals D4 +1 Magic(Fairy) damage.
Domain Cards:
Blighted Strike: Make a Spellcast roll against a Target within Far Range: On Success, deal D6 +1 magic damage with a roll of Hope or D10 +1 magic damage on a roll with Fear. Target's next successful attack deals half damage. On Failure, spend a Hope or mark a Stress.
Umbral Veil: Once per Rest, you can mark a Stress to encase yourself in shadowy energy. When you do, place a number of tokens on this card equal to number of Fear in GM's pool. After an attack roll is made against you, you can spend any number of tokens to reduce the result by 1 per token spent. Remove all unspent Tokens after the scene is over.
