Nomads made with the other body would be linked to that body? You'd have
to keep the person around to hold onto your luck amulets unless they 
were for immediate consumption. Also this is generally frowned on within
Nomad type circles... to reminiscent of second lifers... and the desire
for life is a weakness that nomads don't like to admit to themselves
let alone flaunt in front of others.

Paying some shmuck so that you can burn his health down a little is
probably above board :)

Perhaps... kind of questionable though. Your above argument would suggest
that its stored in power since you stress power to get EU...

When I build the road it will be free for everyone... except for tolls
of course (gotta turn a profit). So far it only looks like I can hit
one spot on Jaern as the Nexus eliminates Rougtero and Wright is opposed
to instant transport in Galeia. *shrug*
