(I'll complete my logic by invoking 2x0=0)I admit that such an interpretation is not likely to stand in any sane game. But what about the interpretation that if the PC did not take any damage from the previous hour of hustling, the following hour of hustling provokes 1 point of nonlethal damage. The precedent for such an interpretation is that the first hour of hustling does not deal damage, and an additional hour of hustling deals 1 point.In this manner a elan can pay 1 power point each hour to avoid taking non-lethal damage. A stock elan without power point beyond their racial ones, could then hustle for three hours before they start to take non-lethal damage.Thematicly this makes sense. Elans are in many ways vivified through psionic power; it seems to make sense that they can expend their psionic power to increase their endurance.Thoughts?</blockquote>
