Psionic Trance: Elans do not sleep, as members of the other common races do. Instead, an elan meditates in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. An elan resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. While meditating, an elan “dreams,” though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. The elan is still conscious and aware of his surroundings, but immobile. When an elan is suffering from a disease, poison, or is below 2/3 of his HP, he cannot enter this meditative state and has to sleep normally.
