Can you push more hits than you have?

That's basically it. If Doc Savage needs to powerstunt something to save the world, has no hero points and 20 hits - can he still "Go for Broke"?

Yes on page 26 of my copy of BASH: Ultimate Edition it says...

You can only push yourself while you are conscious, but can take damage from it putting you below 0 hits.

I’m figuring that you’d have to heal that many negative Hits, in addition to the positive 50 Hits you’d need to heal, before you become conscious again. At Brawn + Agility hits per day, that could be a pretty decent hospital stay!

It also opens up the possibility of a Final Sacrifice, for the right sort of game.

A lot of heroes say they are willing to die for what they believe in, this is a way to make that possible in a truly heroic way.

Yes, and a great way to retire that old, beloved character.

It could also be an interesting chance to try out that new character, for a break, whilst your old favourite lay in the hospital. It sort of reminds me when the Vision lay in that strange android version of a comatose state for a number of Avengers issues. The same, I guess, goes for Professor X of the X-Men (though I only seem to remember this from some of the cartoon shows).

Thanks, I'm a little embarrassed I didn't pick that up myself having read the section before posting .
