Distention code may mean that you can no longer operate in the manner you're accustomed to. For example, it may mean you'll have to become more selective about who you kill.

Also, 2-3/hour is pretty damn fast. If you hero'd in 100 hours and kept up that rate for the rest of your character's life, that'd be ~900-1350 kills. Considering not many people get over 200 in their lifetime, I'd say 0.5/hr is more accurate. Let's say that out of the 10 hours you hunt for 8 and rank for 2, earning enough xp in that 2 hours to gain one rank. Is 4 kills every 10 hours (plus a rank) really going to distend you so badly?

(I honestly don't know, but my suspicion is that it would not.)
