But my players know my penchant for not holding back, and its also very possible that the character would have had psionic body, for 6 more hit points (more than he ever stopped with resilience).There were 5 characters, two of which were Elan. The session contained three large battles. In the first battle one Elan used the ability to stay alive (he was critted when already low on hp). He still ended up dropping, and only took one more opponent with him because of the resources spent on the resilience.In the third battle both elans used resilience to remain standing. They did manage to take a few more enemies with them, but still went down.Resilience was a factor, but it was not overpowered compared to the other characters (the Maened's both took out enemies with their energy rays and strength boosts, and the Xephs both used their bursts to good effe ct as well).So far it has showed itself to be a useful ability, but not overpowered. It is definitely nice to not have died, but any race with a +2 dex or small size would have stayed standing most of the time, and a character with both would have stayed standing almost all of the time. As the levels rise and more power points become available the ability itself will be more useful, so we'll see what we see. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
