remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references

Browse Source 
these are things that are not included in the core commons version
because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity
that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on. most of
Old Gus's and the community's content is removed in order to have a
near-CSRD state

what remains is the rules clarifications, errata, splicing together some
information from secondary sources (like the Starter Set or from game
authors on Twitter), and organizational assists

things removed includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my
own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying
verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't
need to advocate for a different one

stuff that's likely to get folded into my core is arbitrarily numbered
300s instead of 000s

-This section is based on *[The (Unwritten) Rules on Skills in Numenera](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEVmVDW-gjU)* by
-the Infinite Construct.
-
-Here is a framework for thinking about [skills](#skills) and character progression: Because skills are one way of
-[modifying the difficulty](#modifying-the-difficulty) of a task, it can be helpful to think of a skill as falling into
-one the following three categories:
-
-- **Broad Skills** are applicable to large number of possible tasks. For example, \"positive social interaction\" is a
- broad skill that can apply to a variety of tasks that involve social pleasantry: etiquette, flattery, persuasion,
- negotiation, seduction, and even deception. Likewise, a [crafting](#choose-crafting) skill like \"metalworking\"
- might be considered a broad skill that allows a PC represents some training in metallurgy, working a forge, and
- creating different types of finishes for several kinds of well-known metals on a completed object.
-
-- **Narrow Skills** are less frequent in their application, and they frequently build upon a broad skill. For example,
- \"negotiation\" might be a specialization within a broad \"positive social interaction\" skill. Likewise,
- \"weaponsmithing\", \"bronze casting\", \"hull welding\", and \"jewelrymaking\" might be specific skills that fall
- under a broad \"metalworking\" skill. The GM should consider what each of these specializations says about the PC.
- Are they a warrior? An artist? A craftsperson?
-
- A GM might decide that some skills are so broad that it is impossible to become specialized in them, and a player
- must instead choose a narrow skill under the broad skill. For example, if the GM considers \"stealth\" as applicable
- to too many different types of tasks, they might require the character specialize in picking pockets, sleight of
- hand, sneaking, or hiding instead.
-
-- **Specialized Knowledge** skills might be uniquely important to the game world or campaign, with only a certain few
- that possess them. The Cypher System assumes PCs are broadly competent: the default state of any given skill is
- Practiced. However, the GM might decide that when it comes to a few select skills, PCs are assumed to have an
- [inability](#key-concepts) with those skills unless they begin the game [trained](#key-concepts) in them.
-
- For example, in a [science fiction](#chapter-15-science-fiction) setting, being able to decipher the language of a
- long-dead ancient species might be specialized knowledge, and the GM might allow characters to rid themselves of the
- inability as part of choosing a skill as part of [character advancement](#character-advancement).
-
- Specialized knowledge is also useful when thinking about [crafting](#choose-crafting). In a
- [fantasy](#chapter-13-fantasy) setting, \"elven weaponsmithing\" might be a specialized knowledge skill within the
- broad \"metalworking\" skill. if a PC is already trained in metalworking and completes a [Master a
- Skill](#arc-master-a-skill) character arc, they might be able to specialize in \"elven weaponsmithing\", which would
- then enable them begin to use the rules for [crafting magic items](#crafting-magic-items). In a
- [superhero](#chapter-18-superheroes) setting where magic is rare, a PC without an ability like[Magic
- Training](#ability-magic-training){.og-ability} might be assumed to have an inability on tasks related to
- understanding magic, with no established way of gaining any magical talent.

-- **Movement:** Short; short when swimming
-
-- **Modifications:** Crushing, breaking, and grappling as level 5; Speed defense as level 3 due to size
-
-- **Combat:** Can attack twice, once with each claw.
-
-- **Interaction:** The crabby hermit can be reasoned with if it is humiliated or becomes demoralized.
-
-- **Loot:** If the crabby hermit is slain or leaves the card catalog, it leaves behind three cyphers: a [Seashell of
- Instant Shelter](#cypher-instant-shelter), a [Pearl Necklace of Giant Size](#fantasy-cypher-giant-size), and a
- [Mermaid Tear](#fairy-tale-cypher-mermaid-tear).

-The crabby hermit isn't difficult to hit, but it will be tough with only two combatants. Unless Chert and Rena decide
-to expend a fair amount of [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort) to [damage](#rules-damage), the crab will probably
-be defeated by morale conditions rather than depletion of all of its health. The GM trusts Ori or Rena to come up with a
-plan, or to use one of their [cyphers](#choose-cyphers).

-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-There are many other ways the GM can place limits on supernatural abilities---for example,
-[spellcasting](#optional-rule-spellcasting) or [psionics](#optional-rule-psionics)---that don't affect the PCs\'
-[recovery rolls](#recovery-rolls). Here are a few possible arrangements:
-
-- **Cyphers and Artifacts:** [Creating new cyphers and artifacts](#creating-cyphers-artifacts-and-abilities) that
- replicate the effects of [abilities](#choose-abilities) is a good way to try out adding new abilities to PCs. If
- they are [subtle cyphers](#subtle-cyphers), the PCs can [pay 1 XP](#discovering-subtle-cyphers-requesting) to
- request the cypher, and use the ability again. If it's a [manifest cypher](#manifest-cyphers) or
- [artifact](#choose-artifacts), the PC focuses the supernatural ability through it. If the artifact depletes, the PCs
- might find a way to [revive it](#optional-rule-reviving-artifacts). PCs might also be able to
- [craft](#crafting-magic-items) or repair these artifacts.
-
-- **Acquiring Supernatural Abilities and Joining Covens:** Another simple solution is to allow PCs to purchase new
- supernatural [abilities](#choose-abilities) for 4 [XP](#choose-xp), and pay for their use just as they would any
- other---using their stat [Pool](#pool) points (as described in [More Powerful Psionics](#more-powerful-psionics)).
- PCs using abilities in this way might learn them from a [coven](#covens)---which might take the form of a magic
- university, a secret society of like-minded wizards, or a psionic cult.
-
-- **Tier-Based Limits:** The GM might determine PCs can learn (and
- [prepare](#spellcasting-prepared-vs-spontaneous-spellcasting), if necessary) a number of supernatural
- [abilities](#choose-abilities) based on their Tier, for example:
-
-::: table-responsive
- PC Tier Supernatural Abilities Known Supernatural Abilities Prepared
- --------- ------------------------------ ---------------------------------
- Tier 1 3 3
- Tier 2 6 4
- Tier 3 9 5
- Tier 4 12 6
- Tier 5 15 7
- Tier 6 18 8
-
- : Supernatural Abilities Known and Prepared by Tier
-:::
-
-- **Daily Limits:** Supernatural [abilities](#choose-abilities) might be limited to one, two, or three uses each day.
- If a low-tier PC uses a high-tier ability, they might need up to 1d6 days to be able to cast it again.
-
-- **Depletion:** Each time a supernatural [ability](#choose-abilities) (or only certain abilities) are activated, the
- player rolls for an assigned depletion, similar to an [artifact](#choose-artifacts). For example, an ability with a
- depletion of 1 in 1d10 has a 10% chance of depleting, 1 in 1d20 has a 5% chance of depleting, and so on. The GM
- might also assign the depletion a recharge rate or method---usually either the next day at dawn, or the completion
- of a one-hour or ten-hour [recovery roll](#recovery-rolls), but other arrangements might also be interesting, for
- example, recharging at a specific location with a well of available power. In some cases, memorizing supernatural
- abilities might require a successful Intellect tasks, or performing [ritual magic](#ritual-magic) in order to invoke
- the ability later. Consider the two following arrangements:
-
- - *Universal Depletion.* A PC with supernatural abilities begins with a depletion of 10 in 1d20, and can pay 3
- [XP](#choose-xp) as a [long-term benefit](#experience-points-long-term-benefits) to lower their depletion rating
- by 1, to a minimum of 1. Once depleted, the PC can't cast use their supernatural abilities until after their
- next ten-hour [recovery roll](#recovery-rolls).
-
- - *Individual Depletion.* Each supernatural ability has its own depletion rating. Low-tier spells are usually 1 in
- 1d10, mid-tier spells are usually 3 in 1d10, and high-tier spells are usually 5 in 1d10.
-
-- **Stress:** If the game uses the optional [Stress](#horror-rules-stress) module, see [Stress and the
- Supernatural](#horror-rules-stress-supernatural) and [Ability Category: Stress](#horror-rules-stress-abilities).
-
-- **Backlash and Corruption:** Here's an old idea: Using a supernatural ability costs nothing---however, each time
- the PC casts a spell, their [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) rate is raised by 1 until they finish a ten-hour [recovery
- roll](#recovery-rolls). Additionally, triggering a GM intrusion on a task prompted by using supernatural abilities
- might corrupt the caster. The PC rolls a 1d20 on the following table:
-
-::: table-responsive
- d20 Backlash Effects
- -------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1 The PC is lost to corruption, and betrays their allies.
- 2 The PC gains one random [harmful mutation](#harmful-mutations).
- 3 The PC permanently loses 1 [Might](#might) point.
- 4 The PC permanently loses 1 [Speed](#speed) point.
- 5 The PC permanently loses 1 [Intellect](#intellect) point.
- 6--10 The PC descends two steps on [the damage track](#the-damage-track).
- 11--16 The PC descends one step on [the damage track](#the-damage-track).
- 17--19 The PC gains one random [cosmetic mutation](#cosmetic-mutations).
- 20 The PC gains one random [distinctive mutation](#distinctive-mutations).
-
- : Backlash and Corruption
-:::
-
-- **Supernatural Stat Pool:** This option is a more extreme measure that will have profound effects on the game: PCs
- with supernatural abilities gain a new stat [Pool](#pool)---Magic, Mana, Essence, Psi---whatever makes sense for the
- setting. Whatever the name, the new stat's Pool begins with 8 points, and has an [Edge](#edge) of 0. Regardless of
- the Pool the special ability's cost is usually paid from, it is paid from the new Pool\'s points instead, and tasks
- it prompts are related to that stat instead of the ability's usual [Might](#might), [Speed](#speed), or
- [Intellect](#intellect). PCs can use the Increasing Capabilities [character advancement](#character-advancement) to
- assign additional points to their new stat Pool, and Moving Toward Perfection to increase the new stat's Edge.
- Reducing the new stat Pool to 0 points probably doesn't send the PC down [the damage
- track](#the-damage-track)---but that's up to the GM. In some settings, becoming a supernatural PC might bind your
- fate to the world in new ways.
-
-- **Enablers and Durations:** If a supernatural [ability](#choose-abilities) is an Enabler, it's unclear how long its
- effects should last after activation. For example, if a player learns [Ward](#ability-ward){.og-ability} as a
- supernatural ability and uses a [recovery roll](#recovery-rolls) to activate it, how long does the PC benefit from
- the [Armor](#rules-armor) bonus it provides? Ultimately, the GM must decide what's appropriate. The GM should
- consider the following options (and might assign different supernatural abilities different durations):
-
- - *Preparation Counts.* The enabler ability is always active so long as the ability is prepared.
-
- - *Duration Assignment.* The enabler ability is active for ten minutes, one hour, one day, or until the PC makes a
- ten-hour recovery roll.
-
- - *Minimum Concentration.* The ability remains active until the PC makes a recovery roll.

-These optional rules allow GMs to create dramatic tension by giving PCs a weaker, [mundane
-form](#optional-rule-fantastic-transformations-mundane), and a second, dramatically more powerful [fantastic
-form](#optional-rule-fantastic-transformations-fantastic). These PCs might lead a double life, and be pushed to their

-collide or otherwise come into conflict. If you enjoy this rules module, consider purchasing
-[Unmasked](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/unmasked/){.og-icon .og-mcg}.
-
-GMs and players should establish the nature or source of the transformations, and come up with a good description of
-each PC's transformation. Possible themes for fantastic forms include:
-
-- off-beat superheroes
-- henshin heroes and magical girls
-- werewolves
-- divine, demonic, or eldritch possession
-
-To accomplish this, create character sheets for each form as follows:
-

-

-First, create your mundane form. This is probably how you spend most of your time, and what most people would consider
-your \"real life\"---going to school or work, maintaining [relationships](#optional-rule-relationship-levels) with
-friends, family, or loved ones, and dealing with day-to-day happenings.
-
-- **Starting Pools:** Your [Might](#might), [Speed](#speed) or [Intellect](#intellect) [Pools](#pool) have 6 points
- each. You get 2 additional points to divide among your stat Pools however you wish.
-
-- **Descriptor:** Choose a [descriptor](#choose-descriptor). Some descriptors---for example,
- [Mystical](#descriptor-mystical)---might not be appropriate for mundane forms.
-
-- **Skills:** Choose three [skills](#skills) (other than attacks or defense) appropriate to the setting.
-
-- **Background:** Add a background connection you have to the setting.
-
-- **Minimized Advancement:** To best preserve the dramatic tension between your mundane life and [fantastic
- forms](#optional-rule-fantastic-transformations-fantastic), your mundane form doesn't gain [character
- advancements](#character-advancement) or reach new tiers. The GM might make occasional exceptions, for example, as a
- reward for the completion of a significant [character arc](#choose-character-arc). Each time your mundane form
- advances, you must choose a different option. Examples of mundane form advancements include:
-
- - *Pools.* You gain 4 additional points to divide among your stat [Pools](#pool) however you wish.
-
- - *Effort.* You have an [Effort](#effort) score of 1.
-
- - *Edge.* You increase your [Might](#might), [Speed](#speed) or [Intellect](#intellect) [Edge](#edge) to 1.
-
- - *Focus.* You gain the tier 1 abilities from a [mundane focus](#mundane-foci).

-When your transform, you become a far more powerful being. Assuming your fantastic form usually requires an
-[action](#rules-actions), but the GM might set additional requirements, including (but not limited to) some combination
-of the following:
-
-- activate an [artifact](#choose-artifacts)
-- speak aloud an incantation, invocation, or oath
-- make a specific set of complex motions
-- perform a brief ritual
-- move to another plane of existence
-- fall asleep and begin to dream
-- log onto a virtual reality where the PC's fantastic adventures take place
-- involuntarily triggered by heightened emotional states, stress, or other specific circumstances---preferably
- something that is a good source of [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion)---on a failed [Intellect](#intellect) [defense
- roll](#action-defend), the transformation takes hold
-
-Fantastic forms start out as standard tier 1 PC, and gain [character advancements](#character-advancement) by spending 4

-Gaining superpowers can be part of any campaign with fantastic elements. It can be permanent, or temporary. In fact,
-it's not necessary for every PC in the group to have anywhere near the same number of [power
-shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts). If a PC gains superpowers in the course of the story, the GM can use these rules.
-If you enjoy this rules module, consider purchasing [The
-Origin](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/the-origin/){.og-icon .og-mcg}.
-
-- **Super-Focus:** If a [modern](#chapter-14-modern) PC with a [mundane focus](#mundane-foci) gains superpowers, the
- nature of their new powers can be realized by choosing a \"super-focus\" in one of the following ways:
-
- - *Become Super.* The PC makes their existing focus \"super\". The GM should allow them choose at least one
- low-tier [ability](#choose-abilities) from [Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities) to help complete their
- superpower package.
-
- - *Second Focus.* The PC gains a second super-[focus](#choose-focus). Any [power
- shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts) gained can't be applied to their first focus, and when they advance to a
- new tier, only the second super-focus provides new abilities to the PC.
-
- - *Fantastic Transformations.* The PC assumes a completely different identity when their superpowers are active.
-
-- **GM-Assigned or Player-Chosen Power Shifts:** The GM assigns the PC a number of [power
- shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts).
- The GM might also decide how some or all of the PC's power
- shifts are assigned, allow the player to choose what to do with their power shifts, or leave matters up to a roll of
- the die.
-
-- **Mastering New Powers:** Learning to use superpowers can be tricky. Until PCs complete a [character
- arc](#choose-character-arc) like [Learn](#arc-learn), the GM might assign the PC an inability when using their
- fledgling powers, or raise the [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) rate for the PC. GM intrusions might take the form of
- accidental or uncontrollable manifestation of superpowers.
-
-- **Other Changes:** Gaining powers might cause other dramatic changes in a PC. Most begin a new [character
- arc](#choose-character-arc), but some might change their [descriptor](#choose-descriptor), [type](#choose-type), or
- gain a [flavor](#choose-flavor).
-
-- **Supers Gain an XP Advance:** To set increase the baseline between PCs with and without superpowers even further,
- use the optional [starting at tier 0](#optional-rule-starting-at-tier-0) rules for normal PCs, and use the optional
- [XP Advance](#optional-rule-xp-advance) or [starting just past tier 1](#starting-just-past-tier-1) rules for
- superpowered PCs.

-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-Creating new character options is fun and easy. Just like any game, it's a good idea to take something and modify it
-first, or at least read around for the closest comparison.
-
-[Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities) is an invaluable tool for creating new character options. When selecting an
-ability, it's a good idea to see how common it is. If an ability only exists in one [focus](#choose-focus), it might
-not be a good idea to combine it with other such abilities, since they were never intended for a PC to have both. Be
-fearless, but use your judgement.

-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-The section on [Customizing Descriptors](#customizing-descriptors) provides some guidance and a few recipes for
-descriptors. It's okay to be a little more adventurous, as descriptors like [Clumsy](#descriptor-clumsy),
-[Dishonorable](#descriptor-dishonorable), [Doomed](#descriptor-doomed).
-
-If you're interested in the idea of [Species as Descriptor](#species-as-descriptor), the
-[Mutant](#post-apocalyptic-species-mutant) descriptor also provides recipes using the [mutations](#mutations) tables you
-can employ.
-
-Alternatively, the [Modern Magic Descriptors](#modern-magic-descriptors) provide an interesting sort of
-mini-[flavor](#choose-flavor) with a selection of appropriate low-tier abilities taken as [abilities](#choose-type).

-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-In addition to the use of [flavor](#choose-flavor) to modify types, the section on [Further
-Customization](#further-customization) provides some guidance.
-
-The ability power grades described in [Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities) begin to explain why
-[Adepts](#type-adept) are assigned fewer new abilities each tier compared to other [types](#choose-type):
-
-- Adept abilities include more higher-tier abilities, and PCs can choose them at lower tiers.
-- Adepts favor [Intellect](#intellect)-based abilities that might be modified with initial
- costs, allowing them to be more creative with how they
- apply their abilities.
-
-Because of their limited ability choices, an [Adept](#type-adept) can't benefit as much choosing a [flavor](#choose)
-compared to an [Explorer](#type-explorer).

-In addition to the sections on [Creating New Foci](#focus-creating-new-foci) and [Customizing
-Foci](#focus-customizing-foci) in [Chapter 8: Foci](#chapter-8-foci), this section provides observations about foci to
-consier when [creating new abilities](#creating-cyphers-artifacts-and-abilities):
-
-- Training in two [skills](#choose-skills)---other than attacks or defense---is a common form of low-tier ability.
-- Most foci start with two low-tier abilities at tier 1. A few start with one mid-tier ability.
-- Training in a [defense task](#defense-tasks) is a common low-tier ability.
-- If a focus is all about using a particular weapon, include a tier 1 ability that ensures the PC is practiced with
- those attacks.
-- Powerful foci frequently assign a single low-tier ability tier 2.
-- Training in an [attack](#action-attack) is a common mid-tier ability.
-- A low-tier ability assigned at tier 4 or tier 5 can balance things out.
-- Ensuring a PC is specialized in attacks is a common high-tier ability, but some PCs might become specialized earlier
- through a [type](#choose-type) or [flavor](#choose-flavor) ability, especially if the focus about using weaponry.
-- Tier 3 and tier 6 usually assign a choice between two abilities, but there are exceptions, like [Inks Spells on
- Skin](#focus-inks-spells-on-skin) and [Never Says Die](#focus-never-says-die).
-- Remember that PCs can gain both options of an [ability choice](#focus-choosing-foci) through [character
- advancement](#character-advancement).
-
-It can be fun to come up with four [focus connections](#focus-connections) for your new focus that address the setting,
-the other PCs, or whatever else is appropriate.

-
-This section is based on *Tiers Above Sixth* in the 2015 Cypher System Rulebook [(234)]{.og-ref}. Challenging PCs above
-sixth tier probably involves [really impossible tasks](#really-impossible-tasks).
-
-After reaching sixth-tier, if the GM allows it, you can continue to spend [XP](#choose-xp) to purchase the following
-character advancements. After purchasing four advancements, instead of advancing to a new tier, you gain one special
-ability of your choice from your [type](#choose-type) or [focus](#choose-focus). The GM might also assign additional
-benefits instead of tier advancement, for example, advancing a second [focus](#choose-focus) by one tier and gaining its
-associated special abilities, or making a choice from a list of [power shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts) or
-[posthuman upgrades](#optional-rule-posthuman-upgrades).
-
-- **Increase Pools**: You gain 4 new points to add to your [stat](#character-stats) [Pools](#pool). You can allocate
- the points among your Pools however you wish.
-
-- **Increase Edge:** You add 1 to your [Might](#might), [Speed](#speed) or [Intellect](#intellect) [Edge](#edge), up
- to a maximum of 6. If you have features that permanently increase a stat's Edge, the maximum is increased by an
- equal amount. For example, a PC with the [Roach](#post-apocalyptic-species-roach) descriptor and [Golem
- Body](#ability-golem-body){.og-ability} ability has a maximum Might Edge and Speed Edge of 7. Likewise, a
- [weakness](#drawbacks-and-penalties) from a [harmful mutation](#harmful-mutations) or other source lowers a stat's
- maximum. [Cyphers](#choose-cyphers) like [Speed Boost](#cypher-speed-boost) and special abilities [Beast
- Form](#ability-beast-form){.og-ability} that provide temporary increases to Edge function normally.
-
-- **Increase Effort:** Your [Effort](#effort) score increases by 1, up to a maximum of 6.
-
-- **Increase Skills:** Choose one [skill](#skills) (other than attacks or defense) or a special ability to become
- trained in. You can also use this advancement to become specialized in a skill or ability you're already trained
- in, or to cancel out an inability, becoming practiced in the task. You can choose this advancement up to three
- times, selecting a different skill or special ability each time.
-
-- **Increase Recovery Rolls:** Add 2 to your [recovery rolls](#recovery-rolls).
-
-- **Armor Training:** Reduce your [Speed Effort cost](#equipment-armor-speed-effort-cost-per-level-of-effort-used) for
- wearing armor by 1.
-
-- **Gain a Special Ability:** Select one new ability from your [type](#chapter-5-type) or [focus](#chapter-8-focus).
- If the GM allows, you can use this option to permanently gain a [spellcasting](#optional-rule-spellcasting) or
- [psionic](#optional-rule-psionics) ability, allowing you to use it by paying its Pool point cost instead of using a
- [recovery roll](#recovery-rolls) or spending time to cast a spell or manifest a psionic ability.
-
-- **Mutate:** If the GM allows this character advancement, you gain a [beneficial mutation](#beneficial-mutations),
- [powerful mutation](#powerful-mutations), or [distinctive mutations](#distinctive-mutations). The GM might allow you

- An old-fashioned way of handling milestones is to require PCs to spend time, currency---or both---to advance to the

- Even if PCs do not reach new tiers at the same rate, some [character arcs](#character-arcs) can be addressed quite

- carousing and [explore](#arc-explore) nearby locations.

- advancements](#character-advancement) a PC must purchase with XP to before advancing to the next tier. When using
- this rule, the GM decides any requirements or limitations for the additional advancements, including [optional
- character advancements](#optional-character-advancements). When using this rule, PCs will gain additional breadth
- each tier in the form of additional skills, special abilities, or other benefits.

- 1 XP. Additionally, every two tiers, a PC can hold 1 additional XP.

- Complication 4--10 XP Advance 11--20 XP Advance
- -------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Burden The PC has a [harmful mutation](#harmful-mutations) or complex relationship with another NPC or organization that regularly requires their attention. The PC is constantly accompanied by their troublesome relation, and must frequently attend to them instead of taking other actions.
- Condition Once each session, the GM can make a free [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion), which the PC cannot pay [XP](#choose-xp) to avoid. The effects last up to an hour. The PC has a [serious injury or condition](#horror-rules-serious-injuries-and-conditions)---for example, they are deaf, blind, have a significant disability, or a debilitating addiction that causes them to accumulate [Stress](#horror-rules-stress).
- Fugitive The PC is wanted by authorities and must avoid unnecessary attention. Powerful NPCs plot to capture or kill the PC, and occasionally show up to do just that.
- Inability The PC gains an inability with an important kind of attack, defense, or movement skill. The PC will die in the course of the story, probably at the worst possible moment.
- Maintenance The PC regularly requires something specific to sustain themselves. If delayed or disrupted, their abilities become unavailable, unreliable, or unpredictable. If the PC doesn't sustain themself, they move down one step on [the damage track](#the-damage-track) (which cannot be ignored by [special abilities](#choose-abilities) like [Ignore the Pain](#ability-ignore-the-pain){.og-ability}).
- Oppression All interaction tasks are hindered, and the PC is sometimes treated with disgust or contempt by NPCs. All combat tasks are also hindered.

-- **Purchasing Power:** Each PC counts their purchasing power based on [price
- categories](#equipment-price-categories), up to 15 each. If a category exceeds 15, the PC removes 10, and adds 1 to
- the next highest price category (for example, a purchasing power of 10 inexpensive items is converted to 1
- moderately-priced item). To convert a purchasing power back down into the previous category (for example,
- moderately-priced purchasing to inexpensive purchasing power), roll 1d6 and add the PC's Intellect Edge to the
- result.
-
-- **Currency Depletion:** When a PC makes a purchase of a certain price category and has 10 or fewer purchasing power,
- roll for depletion using a d10 against the category's purchasing power. If the result exceeds the PC\'s purchasing
- power, the purchasing power for that category is reduced by 1. For example, if you have 4 purchasing power in the
- inexpensive category, and you roll a 5 on a purchase, it depletes to 3. If you buy something else and roll a 3, it
- remains at 3. If the PC makes a purchase and has more than 10 purchasing power, the purchasing power is reduced by 1
- (no roll).
-
-- **Income:** PCs might have regular expenses, but also a regular source of income, such as a job. Income adds to a
- PC's purchasing power on a regular basis For example, every two weeks, a PC might earn enough income for 1
- moderately-priced item and 5 inexpensive items. For simplicity's sake, it might be easier to account for income as

-
-::: {.alert .ps-4 .pb-0}
-- **Level, Motive, and Combat:** Decide on the [level](#understanding-the-listings), motive, and general tactics and
- key behaviors of the NPC.
-
-- **Movement, Modifications and Interaction:** Decide what is most important about the NPC for your purposes. This
- might be defining its movement, tasks it is particularly skilled with, or weaknesses it might have with certain
- tasks. Refer back to the creature's motive and refine how thinks and behaves---especially if the PCs might try to
- interact with it, and if it requires any signature combat tactics or special abilities. Describing for players what
- the creature does is important---describing *how the NPC does it* is equally important. If it's supposed to be
- creepy, detail that creepiness.
-
-- **GM Intrusion:** Consider what might happens if a player triggers a [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion), or create a
- twist you'd like to be able to propose in an encounter.
-
-- **Health:** A creature's health dictates how long it will survive in combat. A party of four tier 1--2 characters
- typically inflict 10 points of damage each round. Tier 3--4 characters typically inflict 16 points of damage, and
- tier 5--6 characters typically inflict 22 points per round.
-
-- **Armor:** [Armor](#rules-armor) reduces how quickly an NPC's health is depleted. One point of Armor is typically
- equivalent to adding 6--7 points of health.
-
-- **Damage Inflicted:** You can increase damage inflicted if necessary. Even low-level creatures inflict at least 2--3
- points of damage. During combat, creatures typically damage the PCs twice.
-
-- **Special Damage:** Decide if the creature can inflict any kind of [special damage](#special-damage)---venom,
- entanglement, stun, mental control, temporary reductions to [Pools](#pool), even moving characters down [the damage
- track](#the-damage-track) without depleting their Pools. If employing such effects, decide on what conditions that
- alleviate them, for example, a successful [Might](#might) [defense roll](#action-defend) made each hour, a
- successful [healing](#action-healing) task against the level of a poison, or completing a ten-hour [recovery
- roll](#recovery-rolls). These effects can certainly make an NPC more interesting, but don't overuse them.
-
-- **Use and Loot:** Describe at least one way the party might be likely to discover or encounter the creature. If the
- creature is likely to have any useful loot, such as a cypher, equipment, or part of its body, note that, too.

-
-Here a few more ideas for making damage a little less predictable. Most of these rules favor the PCs, especially against
-low level [creatures](#chapter-22-creatures). Rolling dice and calculating totals can slow down a game, so the GM should
-use these rules only if the players are happy rolling more dice and doing a little extra maths.
-
-- **Weapon Die:** Additional polyhedral dice can be used instead of static [weapon](#equipment-weapons) damage.
-
-- **Weapon Dice Pools:** Some of the following forumlas use \"kh\" for \"keep highest\". For example, \"3d6kh1\" means
- rolling three d6s, and keeping one result---the highest of the three.

- Weapon Die Dice Pool Notes

- Light 1d4 1d6 attack eased
- Medium 1d8 2d6kh1 + 1 ---
- Heavy 2d6 3d6kh1 + 2 requires two hands
- Heavy (alternate) 1d12 --- requires two hands
-
- : Weapon Dice (Polyhedral)
-:::
-
-- **Attack Rolls:** For every 3 an [attack roll](#action-attack) result shows in excess of the target number, the
- attack inflicts 1 additional damage. For example, if a PC attacks a level 2 foe with a target number of 6 and rolls
- a 16, they inflict 3 additional damage to the target. Additional damage from [special rolls](#rules-special-rolls)
- still applies as normal.
-
-- **Defense Rolls:** For every 3 a [defense roll](#action-defend) result shows in deficit of the target number, the
- attack inflicts 1 additional damage. For example, a PC making a Speed defense roll in response to level 5 foe with a
- target number of 15 and rolls and 9, they take 2 additional damage from the attack.
-
-- **Effort Dice:** Applying a level of [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort) to damage increases amount of damage
- inflicted by the attack by 1d6 (instead of the usual 3).

-This optional rule creates additional risk for PCs taking damage or using powerful [special
-abilities](#choose-abilities) with lots of [Effort](#effort). Either situation creates lasting injuries that take longer
-to recover from.
-
-- **Damage:** When damage reduces a PC's [stat](#character-stats) [Pool](#pool) to 0, the remainder is temporarily
- subtracted from that stat's Pool maximum. The remainder (and any further damage) are also applied to another stat
- Pool, as described under [The Effects of Taking Damage](#the-effects-of-taking-damage). This effect is in addition
- to going down one step on [the damage track](#the-damage-track) as normal.
-
-- **Using Abilities:** When a PC uses a [special ability](#choose-abilities) with a [Pool](#pool) point cost they
- can't pay, the remainder is instead temporarily subtracted from their maximum Pool points for that stat.
-
-- **Recovering Pool Maximums:** A PC can recover temporary reductions to their [stat](#character-stats) [Pool](#pool)
- maximums by filling the Pool to its temporary maximum. While at the temporary maximum, [healing](#action-healing),
- [special abilities](#choose-abilities), [cyphers](#choose-cyphers), and [artifacts](#choose-artifacts) (but not
- [recovery rolls](#recovery-rolls)) restore lost points to a stat Pool's maximum.
-
-- **Pool Maximums Reaching Zero:** If any stat's Pool maximum is reduced to 0, the GM decides how best to proceed.
- For example, a PC might gain a permanent inability, permanently reduce a [stat](#character-stats) [Pool](#pool)
- maximum by 3, or die.

- or prevent them from benefiting from sources of [stress relief](#horror-rules-stress-relief).

-
-- **Providing Stress Relief:** A PC can remove another PC's Stress by succeeding on an appropriate task---for

- points is a difficulty 3 task). The PC must rest for one hour before their Stress can be relieved in this way again.
-

-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-[Stress](#horror-rules-stress) can serve as the primary method the GM uses to inflict [damage](#rules-damage) to PCs.
-Doing so means PCs are less likely to go down [the damage track](#the-damage-track) unless they accumulate at least 5
-Stress Levels. It also means their [Might](#might), [Speed](#speed), and [Intellect](#intellect) points are more readily
-available to pay the cost of [abilities](#choose-abilities) and [Effort](#effort). The GM might even decide PCs don't
-descend a step on the damage track due to a stat [Pool](#pool) reaching 0.
-
-When using this optional rule, the Stress inflicted by a creature, NPC, or effect is based on its
-[level](#key-concepts), for example:
-
-::: table-responsive
- Level Damage Inflicted
- ------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1 1 Stress point
- 2 2 Stress points
- 3 3 Stress points
- ≥4 One step down [the damage track](#the-damage-track) (possible a [serious injury or condition](#horror-rules-serious-injuries-and-conditions))

-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-The [Stress as Damage](#horror-rules-stress-damage) optional rule works best in settings where effective
-[Armor](#rules-armor) against the types of threats the PCs face is rare. Here are some suggested accommodations:
-
-- **Encumbrance:** The [Speed Effort cost](#equipment-armor-speed-effort-cost-per-level-of-effort-used) for wearing
- [physical armor](#equipment-armor) is waived. Instead, wearing physical armor hinders all [Speed](#speed) tasks.
-
-- **Sundered Defenses:** [Armor](#rules-armor) stats for PCs are mostly ignored. A PC with an appropriate source of
- [Armor](#rules-armor) can sacrifice it to avoid going down [the damage track](#the-damage-track) or acquiring a
- [serious injury or condition](#horror-rules-serious-injuries-and-conditions). The GM decides if doing this damages
- or destroys physical armor. If the sacrificed source of Armor is a natural trait or [special
- ability](#choose-abilities)---for example, the [Thick Hide](#ability-mutation-beneficial-thick-hide){.og-ability}
- mutation or [Ward](#ability-ward){.og-ability} ability---it has no effect until the PC finishes a one-hour or
- ten-hour [recovery roll](#recovery-roll) (determined by the GM).
-

-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-Designating certain actions, events and experiences---including a PC's own [special abilities](#choose-abilities)---as
-\"supernatural\" sources of [Stress](#horror-rules-stress) accumulation---or relief---can make for an interesting story.
-
-- **Defining the Supernatural:** The specifics inevitably vary by setting, but here are a few things to consider:
-
- - *Type.* In general, [Warrior](#type-warrior), [Explorer](#type-explorer), and [Speaker](#type-speaker) abilities
- are mundane. At tier 3 and higher, a few might be supernatural. [Adept](#type-adept) abilities include
- supernatural effects at tier 1. Abilities gained from a magical [flavor](#choose-flavor) are probably
- supernatural.
-
- - *Focus.* Abilities gained from [mundane foci](#mundane-foci) are almost always mundane. Other foci are not so
- easy---for example, a PC with the [Bears a Halo of Fire](#focus-bears-a-halo-of-fire) focus might be a
- pyrokinetic child (supernatural), or a grizzled mercenary with a high-tech flamethrower (mundane)---depending on
- the setting and the [story behind the focus](#focus-story-behind-the-focus).
-
- - *Supernatural Abilities.* [Spellcasting](#choose-spellcasting) and [psionics](#choose-psionics) are almost
- always supernatural---but making certain types of magic supernaturally stressful could be interesting in the
- right setting.
-
- - *Superpowers.* Superheroes present an interesting challenge---they might be fantastic but ultimately mundane, or
- they might originate from a central supernatural element within the setting. Ultimately, the GM decides what is
- meaningfully \"supernatural\" when it comes to Stress. For example, using superpowers might be stressful when
- they are first acquired, but become less stressful over time. Accumulating Stress while attempting [power
- stunts](#superhero-power-stunts) is also a reasonable idea.
-
- - *Artifacts, Creatures, and Effects.* Encounters with the supernatural can also be stressful, for example,
- activating a powerful [artifact](#choose-artifacts), or encountering something unthinkable for the first
- time---like a [xenoparasite](#creature-xenoparasite) or [Death](#npc-death) itself.
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
-Take a moment to appreciate how flexible the definition of \"supernatural\" can be. For example, in Scooby-Doo, The gang
-spends an awful lot of time driving around in the Mystery Machine and chasing down would-be ghosts in haunted
-mansions---only to find perfectly mundane explanations for seemingly supernatural events. These very same people see
-absolutely nothing supernatural about the talking dog in their midst. Neither does anybody else. For more on internal
-logic, see [Making Meaning](#making-meaning).
-:::
-
-- **Encountering the Supernatural:** Once a PC has accumulated a minimum amount of Stress---for example, a total of 10
- Stress Levels in the course of a campaign---the PC might gain access to new supernatural abilities, or be directly
- contacted by an otherworldly entity. The GM determines which abilities are supernatural, and whether using those
- abilities accumulates or relieves Stress:
-
- - *Supernatural Abilities Cause Stress.* Using this option, the GM assigns the accumulation of 1--3 [Stress
- points](#horror-rules-stress-points) when a PC activates a supernatural ability. This can be in place of---or in
- addition to---its normal activation cost. For example, using the [Shatter](#ability-shatter){.og-ability}
- ability might cause the PC to accumulate 3 Stress points.
-
- - *Stress Fuels Supernatural Abilities.* Using this option, PCs relieve [Stress](#horror-rules-stress) when
- activating supernatural abilities---especially powerful, dangerous, or destructive ones. When using this option,
- Stress is relieved before any task roll prompted by the ability's use. In some cases, the GM might allow Stress
- relief in place of paying the ability's usual activation cost (potentially requiring the PC to accumulate a
- minimum amount of Stress in order to use them), for example:

-
-Some conditions heal on their own, and some require medical care. If the condition isn't too serious, a PC can use a
-[recovery roll](#recovery-rolls) of a minimum length (determined by the GM) to end a condition instead of regaining
-[Pool](#pool) points. Here are a few other options for more serious conditions:
-
-- **Natural:** The condition ends on its own after a number of [recovery rolls](#recovery-rolls) or days. For example,
- a sprained ankle might hinder a PC's movement tasks by two steps until after their next one-hour recovery roll, and
- still hinder such tasks for one step until after their next ten-hour recovery roll and succeed on a difficulty 3
- Might [defense task](#action-defend-defense-tasks).
-
-- **Interventionist:** The condition requires a successful [healing](#action-healing) task by the PC or an ally. For
- example, a PC might be able to pop their own dislocated shoulder back in with a successful difficulty 5 Might task.
- Removing a piece of shrapnel embedded in the heart might require someone else perform a difficulty 10 healing
- task---likely requiring [skill](#modifying-the-difficulty-skills), [assets](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets) like
- capable assistance and sterile facilities and surgical equipment, and uninterrupted time and
- [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort).
-
-- **Supernatural:** The condition requires a healing task that is impossible without the aid of specific assets---a
- [Catholicon](#cypher-catholicon) cypher, a [high-tech device](#superhero-modifying-high-tech-devices), otherworldly
- [artifact](#choose-artifacts), [ritual magic](#ritual-magic), or [Divine
- Intervention](#ability-divine-intervention){.og-ability}.
-
-- **Lengthy:** If the condition reduced multiple values from Pool points, Effort score, or hindered tasks by more than
- one step, the recovery might be incremental. The PC might pursue the [Recover from a Wound (or
- Trauma)](#arc-recover-from-a-wound-or-trauma) or [Develop Coping Strategies](#arc-develop-coping-strategies)
- character arcs.
-
-###### Injury and Disability [#](#injury-and-disability){.og-h-anchor aria-hidden="true"}

-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-PCs or NPCs might have congenital conditions, or gain a condition over the course of their lives---the ravages of age,
-if nothing else. As is outlined in the [drawbacks and penalties](#drawbacks-and-penalties) section of [Chapter 4:
-Creating Your Character](#chapter-4-creating-your-character), consider pairing inabilities---or disabilities---with
-strengths in new and different [skills](#skills). For example, a congenitally blind PC might have a well-developed sense
-of hearing they use to navigate the world---developing a special ability like
-[Echolocation](#ability-echolocation){.og-ability}. Other conditions can be mitigated with specific
-[equipment](#choose-equipment) or [artifacts](#choose-artifacts)---glasses, hearing aids, prosthetics, and wheelchairs
-are just a few [modern](#chapter-14-modern) examples.
-
-Many conditions don't affect a person all the time or even every day, making them ill-suited to applying the effects
-above. Chronic conditions---especially those with acute effects, including angina, anxiety, asthma, diabetes,
-lupus---are probably best realized through the occasional [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) instead.

-- **GM Intrusions:** The [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) rate starts higher, and effects that increase it---for example,
- [Horror Mode](#horror-rules-horror-mode)---have considerably more dramatic effects.
-
-- **Abilities and Effects:** The GM might need to make a few other alterations for certain effects that still assume
- task resolution is handled by rolling a d20, for example, those granted by the [Increased
- Effects](#ability-increased-effects){.og-ability} ability (for example, allowing a [minor
- effect](#rules-special-rolls) on a roll of 5 on the fate die).
-
-- **Other Sizes of Fate Die:** Alternatively, the GM can assign the fate die to a different die instead, for example,
- the fate die could be set to a d10, triggering a GM intrusion on a 1, a minor effect on a 9, and a major effect on
- a 10. The fate die could even be a d20, and trigger [special rolls](#rules-special-rolls) normally.

-A PC can trade [damage](#rules-damage) inflicted from a single attack for an effect. When trading damage, consult the
-following table, and add target's level. For example, a \"called shot\"---striking a specific body part of a [level 4
-creature](#understanding-the-listings)---requires a trade of 6 points of damage (2 for the effect, plus 4 for the
-creature's level). The attack must inflict at least 1 damage after making the trade or the effect doesn\'t take hold.

- 1 **Distract:** For one round, all of the foe's tasks are hindered.
- 2 **Strike a specific body part:** The attacker strikes a specific spot on the defender's body. The GM rules what special effect, if any, results. For example, hitting a creature\'s tentacle that is wrapped around an ally might make it easier for the ally to escape. Hitting a foe in the eye might blind it for one round. Hitting a creature in its one vulnerable spot might ignore [Armor](#rules-armor).
- 3 **Knock back:** The foe is knocked or forced back a few feet. Most of the time, this doesn't matter much, but if the fight takes place on a ledge or next to a pit of lava, the effect can be significant.
- 3 **Move past:** The character can move a short distance at the end of the attack. This effect is useful to get past a foe guarding a door, for example.
- 3 **Damage object:** Instead of striking the foe, the attack strikes what the foe is holding. If the attack hits, the character makes a Might roll with a difficulty equal to the object's level. On a success, the object moves one or more steps down the [object damage track](#special-situation-attacking-objects).
- 4 **Knock down:** The foe is knocked prone. It can get up on its turn.
- 7 **Disarm:** The foe drops one object that it is holding.
- 7 **Impair:** For the rest of the combat, all tasks the foe attempts are hindered.
- 8 **Stun:** The foe loses its next action.

-While the advice in this section will talk about some Cypher System specifics, the basic principles can be applied to
-playing what I call \"the game\"---regardless of the system or rules you use to play. \"The game\" in this case is
-called *Make-Believe*. That's important: you want to *make the players want to believe* in the world and the setting,
-and they want to *make you want to believe* in their PCs---even though we all know the story isn't real, the point is
-to make is as believable---and furthermore, as meaningful---as possible. When we succeed at *Make-Believe*, and everyone
-is having a good time, the game is being \"won\", to the extent that it ever can be.
-
-The rules of any given game system are there to set up certain boundaries for our imagination. They determine what
-counts (in terms of maths), what is possible, and what is not---at least, at a baseline. In the Cypher System, there
-only a few important mechanics that can't be easily changed. PC [stats](#character-stats), [Pool](#pool),
-[Effort](#effort), and [XP](#choose-xp) are foundational to the Cypher System's mechanics, but you can change almost
-anything else---and maybe you should. Your [choices](#campaign-design-checklist) will help you define the exact
-[genre](#part-3-genres) of the game---at least at first. They determine what defines \"believable\" within
-*Make-Believe*. For example, in a fantasy setting, magic is perfectly believable. In a post-apocalyptic setting caused
-by nuclear war, magic may not be very believable---but it could still be interesting. What's believable can also change
-dramatically over the course of a story---many great stories are based around the very idea of discovering new aspects
-of existence, and the Cypher System is---at its core---[about discovery](#experience-points-gm-awards).
-
-A key feature in the game of *Make-Believe* is that everything in the story has some amount of \"meaningfulness\".
-Meaningfulness defines what matters in the story, and separates what is important from what is not. Without sufficient
-meaningfulness, a story is \"just a bunch of stuff that happens\". When something is meaningful in a story, it creates a
-kind of gravitational force that pulls other parts of the story toward itself---making a near pass of one another,
-entering a kind of orbital relationship, shearing something apart in a terrible gravitation tide, or causing a dramatic
-impact. Without this meaningful kind of gravity, everything just floats around independently before scattering into
-oblivion. Building good, meaningful gravity in the game is essential. The rest of this section explores things you can
-do to build good meaningful gravity---enough to eventually slingshot your game on to new worlds.

-In many systems, the GM is given power---and responsibility---to choose ways or times the rules can be applied, bent, or
-broken---that's still the case in the Cypher System. It\'s a good idea to be judicious about these powers. Here are
-some good ways to think about your role in making meaning during the game:
-
-::: {.alert .ps-4 .pb-0}
-- **Maintain belief and make meaning:** As I mentioned previously, meaningfulness is like gravity,
- and that gravity must be respected. It grounds the story, and helps define what's at stake in the story.
- Contradicting yourself for arbitrary reasons will sabotage players' belief in the story and in you, and this kind
- of mistrust is corrosive to the game of *Make-Believe*. That isn't to say you have to be rigid and make the same
- rulings all the time---in fact, quite the opposite. Instead, try to make your rulings for the specific situation you
- are in based on what is meaningful about that specific situation.
-
-- **Describe phenomena:** Without you, the PCs don't really have senses. You must provide their sight, sound, smell,
- touch, taste, temperature, and humidity. To a certain extent also control what PCs know about the world, what they
- would immediately recognize, or might infer given their experiences. This is tricky---generally, you want to avoid
- dictating what a player thinks, believes, or feels. You also don't want to produce a feeling of betrayal by lying
- to a player about the nature of their experiences. That kind of mistrust is corrosive to belief. You can avoid lying
- to players by describing not what things *are*, but what things *are like*. For example, if the party enters a dark
- cavern, you might tell the PCS that they notice an uptick in the humidity, a downtick in the temperature, and a
- gentle white noise far off in the distance. Whether the source of those phenomena end up being a completely natural
- waterfall, a raging [water elemental](#creature-elemental-water), or something else entirely, you have avoided lying
- to the players by equipping them to make their own assumptions about nature of their experiences, and encouraged
- them to make discoveries as a result of their own choices and actions.
-
-- **Call for fewer, more meaningful dice rolls:** When PCs are making relatively inconsequential actions---especially
- those that are in their character's wheelhouse---into [routine actions](#routine-actions) that require no roll.
- This requires you to know something about the PC and what's on their character sheet, but you will learn those
- things in a longer-form game. Only call for a roll when the outcomes would be interesting. Allowing players to
- proceed confidently with their PC and abilities helps them take more bold or decisive actions rooted in their
- character, rather than second-guessing each course of action they might Take.
-
-- **Let players try things:** Do not fear player actions or dice! If players are being creative with their abilities,
- that's a good thing---it means they\'ve decided they are meaningful. If you have an outcome you\'d like to see in
- the game, don't call for a roll and then force it even if the outcome wasn\'t what you wanted. Don\'t call for roll
- at all, and propose a [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) instead.
-
-- **Keep the story moving forward:** One trap GMs fall into too frequently is to assume that a failed roll results in
- nothing happening. \"Nothing happens\" can provide a great occasional dramatic (or comedic) beat---but if you use
- this as a device too often, the game will slow down to a crawl. Creating meaningful consequences for the results of
- a roll is usually more interesting than \"nothing happens\", because it prompts the PCs to take additional action
- rather than wallow in any negative feelings that came from a \"bad roll\". If things have slowed down too much,
- devise and propose a [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) that revitalizes the game's pace or direction.
-
-- **Let encounters resolve:** Sometimes players will use a [cypher](#choose-cyphers) or [special
- ability](#choose-abilities) that causes an encounter to end too quickly for your taste. Take heart---even a foe who
- has been knocked off a cliff might later claw their way back to the top, reappearing as a [GM
- intrusion](#gm-intrusion). But it is wise to for the moment that doing this will be most meaningful in the story.
-
-- **Be a team player:** While you are usually playing the role of a creature or situation that is antagonistic to the
- PCs, be sure you make some time to also be their head cheerleader---and a fellow player. Don't make yourself an
- adversary---celebrate their victories, and agonize in their defeats, too. When they have good ideas, tell them so!

-This section is based on *The Flow of Information* [(416)]{.og-ref} and *Failure to Notice* [(417)]{.og-ref}.
-
-Because [the player always rolls](#rules-the-player-always-rolls), it can be unclear how the GM should proceed if the
-PCs are unaware of important aspects of their situation. The GM can prompt a PC for a roll without telling them anything
-about what it's for, but this might arouse unwanted suspicion. Instead, the GM can compare the PC\'s tier to the
-[difficulty](#rules-task-difficulty) of the task, and add 1 for each of the PC's applicable
-[skills](#modifying-the-difficulty-skills) and [assets](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets). Any ties are decided in the
-PC's favor.
-
-For example, a tier 3 PC is [specialized](#key-concepts) in tracking and has a[Beast
-Companion](#ability-beast-companion){.og-ability}---a faithful bloodhound, whose [modification](#followers) that
-provides an asset to tracking tasks. This make's the PC\'s passive total 3 (tier) plus 2 (skills) plus 1 (asset) equals
-6. So, the PC would detect the presence of a dangerous level 6 creature before it pounced upon a fellow party
-member---as almost a passive [routine action](#routine-actions).
-
-Passive difficulty provides the GM with a way to think about providing directly to PCs' unique senses, knowledges,
-abilities, skills, and personal pasts---honoring of all the choices the player made whilst creating their character, and
-since the start of the game. The GM should strive to be generous with information---after all, information and answers
-are two very different things, and a well-informed party can make more compelling choices about what they do next.

-In the Cypher System, who the players choose for their PCs to be defines the gameplay you can expect to see and find
-meaning in. For example, a PC with the [Drives Like a Maniac](#focus-drives-like-a-maniac) focus requires some kind of a
-[vehicle](#choose-vehicles)---maybe more than one. Driving a sports car is great---but so is driving a dump truck or an
-interdimensional tunneler. But if there's nothing to drive, at all, a player has a right to wonder why you allowed them
-to choose this focus in the first place. A driver with nothing to drive is robbed of meaning, and the player of
-contributions that would bring meaning to the story.
-
-In the Cypher System, Tier 1 PCs are broadly capable, and some can be incredibly specialized for certain tasks. A PCs'
-[skills](#modifying-the-difficulty-skills), [assets](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets), and
-[Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort) quite literally [make the impossible possible](#the-difficulty-dial). For
-example, you've told players to be prepared for tough combat challenges ahead. In response, a player creates a PC who
-begins the game with 6 [Armor](#rules-armor):
-
-- +1 Armor from the [Tough](#descriptor-tough) descriptor;
-- +1 Armor from the [Adept](#type-adept) type's[Ward](#ability-ward){.og-ability} ability, and a
- [shield](#equipment-armor-shields) as one of their pieces of equipment, granting them an
- [asset](#modifying-the-difficulty) on [Speed](#speed) [defense rolls](#action-defend);
-- +4 Armor from the [Stands Like a Bastion](#focus-stands-like-a-bastion) focus, gaining a set of [heavy
- armor](#equipment-armor) from the[Practiced in Armor](#ability-practiced-in-armor){.og-ability} ability, and an
- additional bonus for wearing it from the[Experienced Defender](#ability-experienced-defender){.og-ability} ability.
-
-Obviously, this PC a defensive powerhouse against conventional attacks---their abilities will only grow as [character
-advancement](#character-advancement) occurs. That's okay. A PC like this provides an interesting space for you to
-create dynamic situations only they can withstand. It also creates space for complex encounters that can't be won by
-fighting so much as endurance, or that require solutions that lean into other PCs' unique talents---or
-[cyphers](#choose-cyphers)---can create solutions for. The point is: if a character creates a specialist, don't be
-afraid to let that specialization shine. There are many ways to challenge a PC---and you always have [GM
-intrusion](#gm-intrusion) at your disposal. In a Cypher System campaign, you will be required to create challenges based
-on the PCs' choices and [character arcs](#choose-character-arc).
-
-Moreover, any specialist will have weak points---for example, a character like this needs both hands to [use Adept
-abilities and hold their shield](#first-tier-adept), and every PC is equally vulnerable to [GM
-intrusion](#gm-intrusion). Learning to customize your game for the desired genre, tone, and party composition might mean
-revisiting the use of some [optional rules](#choose-optional-rules). For example, if the game requires a little more
-\"gritty realism\", employ [optional rules](#choose-optional-rules) like [Fragility](#horror-rules-fragility) and

-##### Encouraging Play: Unclench Your Butt\! [#](#encouraging-play){.og-h-anchor aria-hidden="true"} {#encouraging-play .og-h-small}
-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-Once you know what makes things believable within the setting, it's time to turn the players loose within it. PCs will
-already bring a good amount of their own meaningfulness to the game---they are the main characters, after all. Who the
-players and PCs are: their personalities, [descriptors](#chapter-7-descriptor), [abilities](#choose-abilities), and
-[character arcs](#character-arcs) are certainly going to have an impact on the story. This will inevitably disturb some
-parts of the setting, and when this happens, you might occasionally feel a small clench forming in your posterior. This
-is normal. Take a deep breath. Let it out, and unclench your butt. The whole point of having players in the world is
-precisely so that they can act upon it and bring some element of change to it. Otherwise, there's no story. There\'s
-\"just a bunch of stuff that happens\".
-
-Before, during or after a session, players will tell you what is meaningful to them about the PCs, locations, creatures,
-NPCs, and other aspects of the game in a few ways. For example, if you hear a player say things like the following, they
-are expressing some measure of meaningfulness about something:
-
-- \"I hope...\"
-- \"I want...\"
-- \"I love...\"
-- \"I bet...\"
-- \"What if...\"
-- \"Ugh, I hate...\"
-- \"We have got to...\"
-- \"I have a plan.\"
-- \"That was cool.\"
-
-Take note when this happens. Sometimes, the best idea is to find a way to make something a player said---no matter how
-offhandedly---become true.
-
-Players also express their sense of meaningfulness through Cypher System mechanics. If a player spends [Pool](#pool)
-points to use [Effort](#effort), or [spends 1 XP to reroll the die](#experience-points-immediate-benefits), you have an
-indicator that what happened meant something to the player---enough to spend something on it. Finding ways to honor
-those expenditures players engaged with the game, even when the dice---or you---are saying no to something.
-
-In the Cypher System, there are two important ways the game ensures that some amount of narrative power and
-meaning-making are a shared enterprise: [GM intrusions](#gm-intrusion) and [player
-intrusions](#choose-player-intrusions). Intrusions allow either party to grab a hold of the narrative for a moment. The
-difference between them is that players must pay 1 XP to avoid your GM intrusion, and they only gain XP if you provide
-it. You can be generous here---after all, you have an infinite amount of XP to give. But don't underestimate the value
-of give-and-take in *Make-Believe*. It's the original gameplay mechanic: rolling a ball back and forth, playing catch,
-and learning to share. Ensuring pool points and XP are flowing in and out of the PCs at an acceptable rate is one of the
-fundamental heartbeats of the Cypher System.
-
-It's not wrong for players to refuse a player intrusion---sometimes you must. But if you\'re on the fence, consider
-throwing a little caution to the wind, and finding out what is on the other side of saying yes. Doing so can yield its
-own reward, and having some narrative responsibility taken off your shoulders can be very freeing, and allow you to be
-more playful.
-
-Here are a few other strategies to create a sense of shared meaning with players in a campaign:
-
-::: {.alert .ps-4 .pb-0}
-- **Question Players:** Ask the players what features of adventures they enjoy---combat, exploration, social
- interaction, and puzzle-solving are common answers, but they may have other good ideas for features of gameplay you
- haven't thought about. When the story reaches a natural stopping point, take some time to ask again.
-
-- **Explore Relationships:** Involve the PCs' personal lives, NPCs they know and care about, and address their
- [character arcs](#character-arcs) when you can.
-
-- **Choices Matter:** Ensure the PCs' choices and outcomes have a meaningful impact on the story.
-
-- **Tonal Variance:** Tell more than one kind of story. If every session is a dungeon-dive to retrieve one of eight
- macguffins that ends in a dramatic monster battle, some players might love it. Some will get bored, seeing only
- slight variations on a theme. Try to vary the length of adventures. Some might take eight sessions, some three, and
- some might resolve in one.
-
-- **Altering Scope:** Depth and meaning in a setting should be examined from several angles. It's a good idea to
- change your scope and stakes between adventures, too. Addressing some character arcs might be intimate and personal,
- some are epic and decisive. Avoid threatening the world or all of existence repeatedly, or dwelling on minutiae.
-
-- **Make Allowances:** Sometimes the best way to subvert player expectations is to let things proceed exactly as the
- PCs hoped they would.
-
-- **Beginner's Mind:** Embrace a spirit of not-knowing: this goes both for the players and for GMs. It\'s not
- important to have all the answers all the time. The ones you really need will reveal themselves in time, but it's
- good to preserve a little mystery for another day. Don't overdo this, though---players need a good amount of
- information to understand and develop good traction with a story.
-
-- **Full Being:** Invest each NPC with as much life as you can. They should have real feelings and desires---including
- a will to survive. Not all of them will survive, and it's okay to feel sad when they don\'t. GMs are players too,
- so enjoy every NPC, creature, and gust of wind you become in the course of play.
-
-- **Reflect on Things:** When the time is right, revisit those mysteries and unconcluded stories from the past. As the
- PCs' stories move through time, ask yourself: \"What is going on everywhere else that matters?\"

-For *A Skeleton Stole My Shoes!*, a list of ideas might include:
-
-- Someone's food or drink in the tavern is served with a large, wiry hair in it.
-- A [ravage bear](#creature-ravage-bear) caught in a hunter's trap is actually a fey being.
-- A [skeleton](#creature-skeleton) missing its skull stumbles through the woods.
-- A ghostly green torchlight increases skeletons' level by 1.
-- An [artifact](#choose-artifacts) of great power is rumored to be held in an ancient shrine to a fallen hero
- somewhere deep in the woods.

-
-This section is based on *Challenging Characters* [(435)]{.og-ref}.
-
-If PCs are breezing through encounters, try some of the following ideas:
-
-- **Gritty Realism:** If the game requires a little more \"gritty realism\", employ [optional
- rules](#choose-optional-rules) like [Fragility](#horror-rules-fragility) or [Ironman](#horror-rules-ironman)
- to dial up the threat.
-
-- **Templates:** [Modify creatures](#modifying-creatures) to create new and more challenging variants of creatures or
- NPCs.
-
-- **Damage Track:** An attack or effect immediately moves a PC one step down [the damage track](#the-damage-track).
-
-- **Ongoing Damage:** An attack or effect inflicts additional damage each round until PCs find a way to counteract it.
-
-- **Lasting Damage:** A PC gains an injury, which reduces the maximum number of points in one or more of their
- [Pools](#pool). The PC can regain 1 point to their maximum each day they spend resting, or 1 point every three days
- of regular activity. Until their Pool point maximum is fully restored, any tasks appropriate to the injury are
- hindered by one or more steps (determined by the GM). The section on [Serious Injuries and
- Conditions](#horror-rules-serious-injuries-and-conditions) contains a number of potential injury frameworks.
-
-- **Permanent Damage:** Permanent injuries should be used sparingly, but can be interesting. Even a permanent damage
- might one day be counteracted by appropriate technology, magic, or completion of a [character
- arc](#sample-character-arcs) like [Recover From a Wound (or Trauma)](#arc-recover-from-a-wound-or-trauma).
-
-- **Damaging Abilities or Equipment:** An attack temporarily hinders the use of, nullifies---or in rare instances,
- completely destroys---a PC's [special ability](#choose-abilities), [cypher](#choose-cyphers), or
- [artifact](#choose-artifacts).
-
-- **Enemies Working in Concert:** If four creatures work together, add +1 to the highest level creature, and +2
- additional points of damage. A level 4 mafia cap with three level 3 triggermen could team up and attack as a level 5
- NPC, dealing 6 damage instead of 4. This is a useful way of pooling enemies who normally can't overcome a PC\'s
- [Armor](#rules-armor).
-
-- **Swarms of Creatures:** The GM can combine six to ten creatures and have them act as one creature that is two
- levels higher and inflicts double the creature's normal damage. A group of thirty [berserkers](#npc-berserker)
- might be handled as three level 5 creatures with 30 Health each, inflicting 8 point of damage.
-
-- **Dangerous Environs:** Unstable terrain, [hazards](#damage-from-hazards), or extreme weather can all be realized
- through the [Horror Mode](#horror-rules-horror-mode) rule, causing more frequent [GM intrusions](#gm-intrusion)
- triggered in response to player rolls.

- [XP](#choose-xp)---including new [character advancement](#character-advancement) options, or [player
- intrusions](#running-the-game-player-intrusions) that provide a vocabulary for the kinds of cool \"moves\" a player
- can make on a limited basis that aren't addressed by character creation. Don\'t
- worry if you don't know how to do it all right now: if there are mechanics you aren\'t sure about, implement them
- as [cyphers](#choose-cyphers) at first---this is a good test bed because cyphers can only be used once. Don't worry
- too much about game mechanics when writing these, just use own plain language. After the cypher is used, if it's
- something you'd like to see more of, you can reintroduce the cypher, or refine it into an
- [artifact](#choose-artifacts) (which deplete randomly). When the artifact depletes, you can always provide the PCs
- with a way (for example, spending 3 [XP](#choose-xp)) to recharge the artifact, or allow them to gain its effects
- permanently as a [special ability](#choose-abilities) with an appropriate [initial cost](#rules-initial-cost) for
- its effects.

-When it comes to [rolling the die](#rules-rolling-the-die), players will learn the game faster if the GM calls for rolls
-using a consistent approach. Remind players that any [action](#rules-actions) PC's take is [resolved the same
-way](#this-is-how-you-play-the-cypher-system). Here are a few steps you can take to smooth out calling for rolls and
-resolving them with players:
-
-- **Tie the Action to a Stat:** [determine which stat](#tying-actions-to-stats) is being tested: [Might](#might),
- [Speed](#speed), or [Intellect](#intellect). If you're not sure which to use, ask the player *how* their PC is
- doing what they are doing.
-
-- **Set the Difficulty:** Select a [task difficulty](#running-task-difficulty)---usually between 0--10, and decide if
- any modifications are required---these might come from a creature's listed modifications, or external circumstances
- that might ease or hinder the task by one or more step (for example, a strong wind interfering with---or aiding---a
- PC's jump across a wide chasm).
-
-- **Inform the Player:** Tell the player which stat the task will test, and the difficulty---but don't mention the
- target number yet. For clarity's sake, the less conversion between those two different number sets, the better. You
- can withhold or be vague about difficulty if you like, but new players tend to benefit from
- knowing the difficulty until they get the hang of things.
-
-- **Modify the Difficulty:** Guide the player through [modifying the difficulty](#modifying-the-difficulty) using
- their [skills](#modifying-the-difficulty-skills), [assets](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets), and
- [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort). It's good to set a few low difficulties players can modify all the way
- to 0, becoming a [routine action](#routine-actions), and succeed without a roll. If you are setting an impossible
- difficulty---7 or higher---inform the player that the task can't succeed unless they modify the difficulty in their
- favor. You might need to remind them about applicable skills, any assets they possess, and to use Effort at first.
- If another player wants to use their action to [help](#cooperative-actions), that's a good thing!
-
-- **Announce the Target Number:** Multiply the final difficulty by 3, inform the player of the target number, and
- prompt them to roll the die.
-
-- **Resolve the Action:** Narrate the results of the roll. If the PC used a [special ability](#choose-abilities) or
- [Effort](#effort), total all [Pool](#pool) point costs, then subtract their [Edge](#edge) in the task stat from the
- total. Some players will use Effort on every roll at first. If players mention their [Pool](#pool) points are
- running low, remind them that their first [recovery roll](#recovery-rolls) takes only one action to use.

-It is a common struggle to get players to look past [character advancement](#character-advancement) and start [spending

-XP, which is intended to be given, received, and spent with some frequency. In fact, if the Cypher System has a

-
-- **XP Cards or Tokens:** Using a physical object as an XP token---for example, coins, [XP Deck
- cards](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/cypher-system-xp-deck/){.og-icon .og-mcg}, poker chips, or a
- carefully aligned d10---can be a good way to formalize the fundamentally transactional nature of XP. As a side
- benefit, accounting for XP this way also means less accounting by erasing and rewriting numbers on a paper character
- sheet.
-
-- **GM Intrusions:** [GM intrusions](#gm-intrusion) generate a lot of [XP](choose-xp), so if you are the GM, use
- them---and if you are a player, accept them! The GM might even consider granting XP even when a GM intrusion is the
- result of a player rolling a 1 on the die. GMs should aim to offer at least one GM intrusion to each player every
- session.
-
-- **Player Intrusions:** Some players who aren't used to having more narrative control might be reluctant to propose
- a [player intrusion](#choose-player-intrusions). If no one is using player intrusions, try proposing a few you think
- they'd like, or using the Gaining Insight optional rule. Devise a few proposed
- player intrusions for each PC---you can make it something only they could---or would---think of. Once players see a
- few examples, they'll be more prepared to start proposing their own intrusions.
-
-- **Attendance:** Offering 1--2 consistent XP at the start of the session just for showing up makes it easier to spend
- some.
-
-- **Character Arcs:** Reserve some time at the end of each session to discuss the PC's [character
- arcs](#character-arcs), and assign a XP value for any steps completed.
-
-- **Equal Advancement:** If using [Equal Advancement](#equal-advancement), consider a house rule where any XP earned
- in the session must be spent in the same session---establish a limit on the amount of XP a PC can hoard, or inform
- players their unspent XP expires at the start of the next session.

-
-One of the keys to understanding GM intrusions is right there in the name---*intrusion*---even in response to a player
-rolling a 1. As noted in many of the example GM intrusions below, these moments don't have to be rooted in a PC
-failure, but instead can be something unexpected, undiscovered, and entirely external to the PC---something rooted in
-the world, situation, or opposition they are facing. It is an unfortunate fact that many players have had experience
-with games and GMs who respond to rolling a 1 by humiliating the PC, or preventing them from taking an action, but
-usually all this manages to do is bring the game to a halt. In the Cypher System, a good GM intrusion is revelatory: it
-reveals something about the world and invites further action in response. For example:
-
-- If a PC is attempting to ask a prospective NPC romance out on a date and [rolls a
- 1](#intrusion-through-player-rolls), you could have them make a fool out of themself---spilling their drink on the
- person, and completely ruining any chance to pursue that romance in the future. That's certainly an option, but it
- might not be the best one. Instead, you could reveal that the object of their affection already has a significant
- other---a jealous one, or perhaps an overprotective parent or sibling.
-
-- If a PC is picking a lock in a dungeon, you could just have the PC fumble and break their lockpick, leaving the door
- shut forever. Or instead, the door could be yanked open---destroying the lockpick, and revealing a gaggle of angry
- orcs on the other side.
-
-Whether they are triggered by a player rolling 1 or not, GM intrusions are there to help you be flexible: they can
-create corrective measures for the game pacing's or direction, make an important statement, or reveal a complication
-rooted in something the players overlooked, or bring something from the background of the story toward the center of it.
-In the end, the best GM intrusions don't delay the action, but help move the story forward.

-
-::: {#faq-practiced .collapse}
-You're practiced.
-
-**Trained:** If you have an [inability](#key-concepts) and become trained in the task, the training and the inability
-cancel each other out and you become practiced. Sometimes inabilities and training come in groups, so it's important to
-account for each kind of task separately. For example, if you choose the [Calm](#descriptor-calm) descriptor, you have
-an inability with climbing, running, jumping, and swimming tasks. If you gain the [Movement
-Skills](#ability-movement-skills){.og-ability} ability, your inabilities in climbing and jumping are canceled out, but
-your inabilities in running and swimming remain. If you become trained in climbing or jumping from another
-source---[character advancement](#character-advancement)---you can continue to improve your [skill](#skills) and go on
-to become trained or specialized.
-
-**Practiced:** Special abilities that make you practiced with a task also cancel out an inability, but they aren't used
-to become trained. It's pretty common for [foci](#choose-focus) themed around use of a [weapon](#equipment-weapons) to
-assign these kinds abilities at tier 1, ensuring a PC won't start the game hindered with their signature
-[attacks](#action-attack). For example, if you are an [Adept](#type-adept) who [Conjures
-Bullets](#focus-conjures-bullets), your [Practiced with Guns](#ability-practiced-with-guns){.og-ability} ability allows
-you to use medium and heavy weapons without being hindered by the inability Adepts have with them---but only if they're
-guns. Abilities like this prepare you to benefit from abilities at higher tiers---like [Trained
-Guncasting](#ability-trained-guncasting){.og-ability}---because your initial inabilities are already cancelled out.
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
-Inability disclaimers on [types](#choose-type) like these are just reiterating the definition of inability in the [Key
-Concepts](#key-concepts). You're not hindered twice:
-
-**Weapons:** You can use light weapons without penalty. You have an inability with medium weapons and heavy weapons;
-your attacks with medium and heavy weapons are hindered.

-
-- **Type Swap Option:** You don't get a [type swap option](#focus-choosing-foci) automatically, but you can choose it
- instead of one ability from your [type](#choose-type). Most foci don't have type swap options. In this example, if
- you are a [first-tier explorer](#first-tier-explorer), you can choose [Advice From a
- Friend](#ability-advice-from-a-friend){.og-ability} as one of your four explorer abilities.
-
-- **Multiple Abilities:** It's common for a focus to assign more than one ability for a tier. In this example, you
- gain both [Friendly Help](#ability-friendly-help){.og-ability} and [Courageous](#ability-courageous){.og-ability} at
- tier 1. Notice how each ability you gain is listed on its own line.
-
-- **Tier Advancement:** Each time you advance to the next tier through [character
- advancement](#character-advancement), your gain new abilities from your focus. In this example, when you reach tier
- 2, you gain [Weather the Vicissitudes](#ability-weather-the-vicissitudes){.og-ability}.
-
-- **Ability Choices:** When two abilities are listed with \"or\", you choose one of those abilities. Almost every
- focus assigns an ability choice at tiers 3 and 6. In this example, when you reach tier 3, you choose to gain either
- [Buddy System](#ability-buddy-system){.og-ability} or [Skill With

-##### [How does increasing Pools, Edge, and Effort make me more powerful?](#faq-stats){.collapsed bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="faq-stats"} {#how-does-increasing-pools-edge-and-effort-make-me-more-powerful .og-tab .pb-2 .pt-2 .og-h-faq}
-
-::: {#faq-stats .collapse}
-When you spend 4 [XP](#choose-xp) on a [character advancement](#character-advancement), you can be strategic about which
-advancements you choose.
-
-- **Pools:** Your [Might](#might), [Speed](#speed), and [Intellect](#intellect) [Pools](#pool) points measure the
- depth of a \"well of potential\" you can draw from. Pool points are used to pay for [special
- abilities](#choose-abilities) and using [Effort](#effort). Additionally, increasing your Pools allows you to sustain
- more [damage](#rules-damage) before descending on [the damage track](#the-damage-track).
-
-- **Edge:** Your [Edge](#edge) \"cuts the cost\" of an actions that require you to spend [Pool](#pool) points. While
- Edge doesn't directly make tasks easier, it does make you more *efficient* when doing them, \"taking the edge off\"
- of the cost of performing them. For example, if you have 1 Might Edge, that can pay for the cost of using
- [Bash](#ability-bash){.og-ability}. If you have 3 Might Edge, that can pay for 1 level of [Effort](#effort) on any
- [Might](#might) task without paying any points from your Might Pool. Always [total all
- costs](#effort-costs-and-edge-reductions) for the action, then subtract your Edge from that total. For example, if
- you used [Bash](#ability-bash){.og-ability} (1 Might point) *and* used one level of Effort (3 Might points), the
- total cost is 4 Might points, so subtracting your 3 Might Edge reduces the cost you pay to 1 Might point.
-
-- **Effort:** Your [Effort](#effort) score determines how much raw power you can push out in a single action, either
- easing the [difficulty](#rules-task-difficulty) of a task, or increasing the amount of [damage](#rules-damage) you
- inflict with a successful [attack](#action-attack). Using a lot Effort can tire you out quickly. Effort only really
- benefits you on tasks where you use it and succeed. At higher tiers, you might want to choose other options for
- [character advancement](#character-advancement) instead of increasing your Effort score.
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
-Some abilities grant you a [free level of Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort) on relevant tasks.

-
-::: {#faq-hit-points .collapse}
-You do---*kind of*. It's common for new players to think of their [Pools](#pool) as their \"hit points (HP)\", but
-Pools are more like \"stamina\" or \"potential\". The real \"hit points\" in the Cypher System are [the damage
-track](#the-damage-track). You have three: **Hale** (3 HP), **Impaired** (2 HP), **Debilitated** (1 HP)--- after that,
-you're **Dead**.
-
-Powerful effects or creatures that deal [special damage](#special-damage) can move you down the damage track without
-touching your Pools at all, so spend your points while you can!
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
-Special abilities like [Ignore the Pain](#ability-ignore-the-pain){.og-ability}, [Fight
-On](#ability-fight-on){.og-ability}, and [Miraculous Health](#ability-miraculous-health){.og-ability} increase
-resilience against the damage track's effects.

-
-::: {#faq-task-stat .collapse}
-In general, the GM [determines the task stat](#rules-determining-task-stat).
-
-- **Taking Action:** Be proactive---don't just describe what you want to do with your [action](#choose-rules), but
- also how you do it, and the result you're hoping to see. Your description might mention one of your
- [skills](#choose-skills), or something you'd like to use as an [asset](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets)---this
- information can help the GM figure out what you're after.
-
-- **Attacks:** If you're making a melee [attack](#action-attack), you can use [Might](#might) or [Speed](#speed).
- Ranged [attacks](#action-attack) with weapons are almost always Speed tasks.
-
-- **Activating a Special Ability:** If a [special ability](#choose-abilities) costs [Pool](#pool) points to
- [activate](#action-activate-a-special-ability), the task it prompts is usually of the same type. For example, [Hurl
- Flame](#ability-hurl-flame){.og-ability} costs 2 Intellect points, so its attacks are [Intellect](#intellect) based.
- However, if a special ability requires you to touch a target, the [attack](#action-attack) is melee attack instead.
- Even [touching an unwilling PC](#special-situation-combat-between-pcs) with [Healing
- Touch](#ability-healing-touch){.og-ability} requires a successful melee attack.
-
-- **Defending Yourself:** If you're attacked or otherwise have to defend yourelf, your skill with
- [defense](#action-defend) will be tested. Dodging attacks and escaping danger---the most common type of
- defense---are [Speed](#speed) tasks.
-
-- **Using a Cypher:** [Using a cypher](#using-cyphers) is [Intellect](#intellect) based unless described otherwise or
- logic suggests otherwise. For example, throwing an explosive might be [Speed](#speed) tasks, because the device is
- physical and not really technical, but using a [ray emitter](#cypher-ray-emitter) is an Intellect task.
-
-- **Using Effort:** If you use [Effort](#effort), the points are usually spent from the task stat's [Pool](#pool).
- This can be tricky if you're making a touch-based [attack](#action-attack) with a [special
- ability](#choose-abilities) like [Frost Touch](#ability-frost-touch){.og-ability}. In these cases, the GM might
- require you to use [Speed](#speed) points to pay for Effort you use to ease the attack, and [Intellect](#intellect)
- points Effort to increase damage.
-
-- **Enablers and Actions with Multiple Tasks:** Sometimes, you might need to pay additional points from a different
- [Pool](#pool) during the same action---for example, using an [special ability](#choose-abilities) that is an
- enabler. [Total up the points](#actions-with-multiple-tasks) you spent from Pool for your action, and then subtract
- each stat's [Edge](#edge) from the total.
-:::
-
-##### [Why are there two different numbers for difficulty (0--10) and target number (0--30)?](#faq-rolling){.collapsed bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="faq-rolling"} {#why-are-there-two-different-numbers-for-difficulty-010-and-target-number-030 .og-tab .pb-2 .pt-2 .og-h-faq}
-
-::: {#faq-rolling .collapse}
-[Difficulty](#rules-task-difficulty) on a scale of 0--10 is easy to understand. Target numbers are three times the
-difficulty, which means a difficulty of 7 or higher requires [modifying the difficulty](#modifying-the-difficulty) down
-to possible result when [rolling the die](#rules-rolling-the-die).
-
-Additionally, [special rolls](#rules-special-rolls) on the d20 mean that tasks, extra damage, and major and minor
-effects are all resolved with a single die roll. Special abilities like [Increased
-Effects](#ability-increased-effects){.og-ability} can increase frequency of special roll outcomes, and optional rules
-like [Horror Mode](#horror-rules-horror-mode) can alter the [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) rate.
-
-When resolving tasks with new players, it's best to tell them the difficulty. Use only the difficulty number until the
-player is finished modifying it with [skills](#modifying-the-difficulty-skills),
-[assets](#modifying-the-difficulty-assets), and [Effort](#modifying-the-difficulty-effort). Once all difficulty
-modifications are completed, multiply the difficulty by 3 to get the target number and [roll the
-die](#rules-rolling-the-die). Avoid going back and forth between the number types, you'll only get yourself---or
-other---confused.
-:::
-
-##### [This ability seems like a task anyone could attempt---what gives?](#faq-abilities-redundant){.collapsed bs-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="faq-abilities-redundant"} {#this-ability-seems-like-a-task-anyone-could-attemptwhat-gives .og-tab .pb-2 .pt-2 .og-h-faq}
-
-::: {#faq-abilities-redundant .collapse}
-Some abilities seem to function more like \"plays\" than \"spells\", or are something any PC might try to do. For
-example, [Spin Identity](#ability-spin-identity){.og-ability} and [Fast Talk](#ability-fast-talk){.og-ability} are just
-extensions of [interacting with a creature](#action-interacting-with-creatures).
-
-In the Cypher System, the decisions players make through character creation should be
-the foundation of how gameplay itself works. After all, players made those choices to the exclusion of other options,
-and the game recommends no two PCs share the same focus, ensuring each has a niche in the group's dynamic. Any ability
-a PC gains from their [type](#choose-type) or [focus](#choose-focus), and pays [Pool](#pool) points to activate should
-probably be more effective, and work in a greater variety of situations than what a character without that ability can
-do at no cost.
-
-Remember, the GM's job is to set properties of the task, including difficulty---including any external easing or
-hindering---and also possibly an [initial cost](#rules-initial-cost). It's perfectly reasonable to make tasks more
-difficult for PCs who don't have these kinds of abilities, or to ease tasks (or assign assets) for PCs using these
-kinds of abilities. If an ability just isn't working in the game, the GM should work with the player to exchange it for
-one with a similar [power grade](#ability-categories-and-relative-power).
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
-It's helpful to know that there are abilities in the game that allow PCs to bypass tasks recommended by [Chapter 11:
-Rules of the Game](#chapter-11-rules-of-the-game). For example, a PC attempting to [move](#action-move) a short distance
-and then take another action must first succeed on a difficulty 4 Speed task. However, if the PC has the [Fleet of
-Foot](#ability-fleet-of-foot){.og-ability} ability, they can pay the ability's 1 Speed point cost to bypass the roll.
-In this way, many abilities serve as an established [initial cost](#rules-initial-cost) for performing a specific kind
-task in the PC's wheelhouse.
-
-It's also a question of the concept and genre of the game. For example, in a game where all the PCs are spies, [Spin
-Identity](#ability-spin-identity){.og-ability} might be a given. In a game where only *one* PC is a useful spy, this
-ability becomes part of a niche worth protecting.

-
-::: {#faq-attacks .collapse}
-Maybe---it depends.
-
-- **Tasks:** The GM might assign a task with an appropriate [difficulty](#rules-task-difficulty). Using a Cypher is
- usually an [Intellect](#intellect)-based action, but there are exceptions---for example, if the cypher is used in
- the same way as a weapon, like a [monoblade](#cypher-monoblade).
-
-- **Routine Tasks:** The GM might decide whatever you're doing is a [routine action](#routine-actions)---succeeding
- without a roll.
-
-- **Attacks:** If you're targeting an unwilling creature, an object, or effect with a level that would resist your
- attempt, that's an [attack](#action-attack). Attacking usually prompts a task roll with a difficulty based on the
- target's [level and modifications](#understanding-the-listings), but also any [attack modifiers or special
- situations](#attack-modifiers-and-special-situations) the GM determines to be relevant.

-The basics of NPC interactions are detailed in [A Closer Look at Situations that Don't Involve
-PCs](#a-closer-look-at-situation-that-dont-involve-pcs) and [Special Situation: Combat Between
-NPCs](#special-situation-combat-between-npcs). If an NPC is a [follower](#followers)---and maybe even if they
-aren't---the GM might request a player make a roll for the NPC\'s actions.
-
-When resolving interactions, the GM should take a creature's [modifications](#understanding-the-listings) into account.
-For example, a level 4 [giant snake](#creature-giant-snake) attacking a level 3 [faerie](#creature-faerie) would succeed
-if you were only to consult compare creature level. However, a faerie has a modification for Speed defense as level
-5---so the faerie avoids the snake's deadly bite attack.
-
-Creature modifications can be applied to rolls by adding (or subtracting) 3 for each level of modification (+3 for one
-level higher, −3 for one level lower, +6 for two levels higher, −6 for two levels lower, and so on). For example, the
-[faerie](#creature-faerie) is level 3, and its Speed defense is level 5, so if a player rolls for it, it adds +6 to the
-result.
-
-The most important thing is to do what make sense in the setting and story. For example, a standard
-level 2 hound dog probably can't pick a level 2 lock---unless the setting includes cartoon logic or a certain amount of
-whimsy.
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}

-:::
-
-- **Might:** Creatures with a higher [Might](#might) defense are harder to poison, grapple, restrain, daze, or stun.
- For example, NPCs like the [Paladin](#npc-paladin) have a modification for Might defense.
-
-- **Speed:** [Speed](#speed) defense is the most common, and is used for defending against
- [weapons](#equipment-weapons) and other conventional [attacks](#action-attack) that can be avoided or dodged. Speed
- defense modifications are common for creatures much smaller or larger than a PC, or that are exceptionally fast and
- nimble---or slow and clumsy. For example, a [thundering behemoth](#creature-thundering-behemoth) is a level 7
- creature, but its Speed defense is only level 3---simulating the creature's enormous size. Hitting it isn\'t
- terribly difficult, but getting through its considerable Health and [Armor](#rules-armor) while avoiding it's
- powerful attacks definitely is.
-
-- **Intellect:** [Intellect](#speed) defense is used against anything that would invade or influence a creature's
- mind or deal Intellect damage, including abilities like [Mind Reading](#ability-mind-reading){.og-ability}, [Erase
- Memories](#ability-erase-memories){.og-ability}, [Onslaught](#ability-onslaught){.og-ability} (if using the

-That's what cyphers provide: a valuable way of keeping the game feeling fresh and ensuring PCs frequently have a new
-strategy to apply to their situation.
-
-- **Minimal Cyphers:** If all those [cyphers](#choose-cyphers) feel like *just too much*, you can start with just some
- [subtle cyphers](#subtle-cypher-table) and [power boost cyphers](#power-boost-cypher-table) for a while. You can
- always add [more cyphers](#choose-cyphers) later.
-
-- **Reflective Cyphers:** You can make up appropriate cyphers up as the PCs explore the world. For example, if a PC
- spends time at the library studying, you could provide them with a subtle cypher that eases any knowledge task by
- one or two steps, and can be activated as part of the same action as the task roll, similar to how [power boost
- cyphers](#power-boost-cypher-table) work.
-
-- **Names Have Power:** If you're using manifest cyphers, make sure they have an appropriate
- [form](#manifest-cypher-forms). It can also be a good idea to give your cyphers a name that is appropriate to the
- genre and setting of the game---the more specific the name, the better. For example, a
- [Catholicon](#cypher-catholicon) cypher cures any disease of the cypher level or lower. Depending on the setting or
- level of the cypher, it might be a \"Panacea Herb\" (fantasy), a \"Theriac Potion\" (fairy tale), or a \"KÜR-ALL\"
- pill (science fiction).

-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-What makes something meaningful in practice? Here are three components to meaningfulness to think about:
-
-- **Logical:** Something logical is something expected. As you turn PCs loose into an imaginary world to explore and
- interact with it, they will inevitably look for patterns in those interactions. In this sense, logic is created and
- maintained by you being consistent and reliable. For example, PCs who attack a creature will probably expect to make
- an [attack](#action-attack) roll. PCs who drop objects expect them to fall down---but a setting where artificial
- gravity is common will be a lot less surprised if somethng \"falls up\" instead. Thinking about a few cornerstones
- of the setting can help you choose [optional rules](#choose-optional-rules), and make rulings during a session.
-
- There's a world of difference between \"logical\", and what is \"realistic\". Settings where the PCs are mutated
- gophers with kung-fu training battle interdimensional alien invaders are obviously not very realistic, but there is
- probably still some \"internal logic\" that governs the basics of how mutation works, and how a transdimensional
- gateway functions.
-
-::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
-\"Remember, it's your job to use the rules to simulate the world, even if the world is a fictional place with all kinds
-of strangeness. You're not a slave to the rules---it\'s the other way around. If you come across a hole in the rules or
-something that doesn't make sense, don\'t shrug your shoulders and say \"Well, that\'s what the rules say (or don\'t
-say).\" Fix it.\" ---[Cypher System
-Rulebook](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/cypher-system-rulebook-2/){.og-icon .og-mcg} [(413)]{.og-ref}
-:::
-
-- **Interesting:** Something is interesting if it's provocative, unexpected, or moves the story in a new direction.
- Interesting things can defy the usual logic of the story thus far, and open new pathways to discovery for the PCs.
- Interesting things keep the game from getting stale or feeling the same all the time. Interesting things can be
- dangerous, though---too many of them can start break logic down beyond repair, and scatter a game in too many
- different directions.
-
-- **Story-Based:** Something is story-based if it builds upon preceding events in the story. This means creating
- believable responses and story outcomes to the PCs' actions, and also their inaction---accounting for what PCs
- *don't* do is just as important as what they have done. It can also be helpful to review the PC\'s [character
- arcs](#character-arcs)---they provide a wealth of story-based elements to draw from. Story-based elements can form a
- bridge between the logical and the interesting elements of meaningfulness.

-In the end, *Make-Believe* is about co-creation of the story. This means that your creativity---and the players'---is
-much more important than anyone's knowledge of \"the rules\". Players will sometimes come up with oblique solutions to
-problems, and in the Cypher System, it's a generally good idea to evaluate those ideas: they are gifts that arrive with
-meaningfulness already baked in.
-
-Lastly, meaningfulness isn't just about the game or the story. It\'s also about what you and the players share together
-as real people, so talk with the players. Talk with them before the game, during the game, and after the game. If
-something is going well, talk about that! If something isn't going to well, talk about that, too. Be open, honest, and
-listen carefully to feedback you receive, and try not to take it personally. Don't be afraid to tell other people what
-your needs and expectations are. Do what you can to meet the needs and expectations of others.

-**Editor's Notes ---** There are a few suspected misprints in the *Old Gods of Appalachia* types:
-
-**Protector**
-
-- *First-Tier Protector* [(OGOA, 27)]{.og-ref}. The Protector is the only type where listed starting equipment
- explicitly states the PC begins the game with two [cyphers](#choose-cyphers) (chosen for you by the GM) and 2
- dollars. If this is the case, the GM should provide all PCs a few cyphers and appropriate
- [currency](#equipment-currency-and-prices).
-
-- *Fourth-Tier Protector* [(OGOA, 29)]{.og-ref}. The *Practiced with All Weapons* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref} ability serves
- no purpose for the Protector type, and was probably meant to be a *Fourth-Tier Sage* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref} or
- *Fourth-Tier Speaker* [(OGOA, 57)]{.og-ref} ability. If the GM agrees, these types can choose this ability instead.
-
-- *Fifth-Tier Protector* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref}. If the GM agrees, the [Arc Spray](#ability-arc-spray){.og-ability}
- [(110)]{.og-ref} ability makes a suitable replacement for *Practiced with All Weapons* [(OGOA, 30)]{.og-ref}. This
- option should only be used if rapid-fire weapons are available. Revolvers might qualify as early as 1840. Rapid-fire
- long guns would become available by 1870, but would not be widely available---especially for civilian use---until
- after 1920.
-
-**Sage**
-
-- *Second-Tier Sage* [(OGOA, 36)]{.og-ref}. The *Weapons* [(OGOA, 37)]{.og-ref} ability allows a Sage to become
- practiced with light [weapons](#equipment-weapons), indicating a set of missing inabilities with all weapons under
- *First-Tier Sage* [(OGOA, 35)]{.og-ref}, which should read as follows:
-
- **Weapons:** You have an inability with light, medium, and heavy weapons; your attacks with these weapons are

-This section is based [Optional Rule: Effort for
-NPCs](https://www.montecookgames.com/optional-rule-effort-for-npcs){.og-icon .og-mcg} by Monte Cooke.
-
-In addition to [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion), this rule provides the GM with a way to allow [NPCs](#chapter-23-npcs),
-[creatures](#chapter-22-creatures), or [followers](#followers) to use [Effort](#effort) just like PCs. An NPC using
-Effort on an action temporarily increases their effective level. In [situations that don't involve
-PCs](#a-closer-look-at-situation-that-dont-involve-pcs), Effort allows an NPC to rise to the occasion in a daring
-[combat between NPCs](#special-situation-combat-between-npcs), or to succeed at a particularly daunting task. However,
-because [the player always rolls](#rules-the-player-always-rolls), NPCs using Effort can affect the difficulty of the
-PC's roll:
-
-- If an NPC uses a level of Effort to defend themselves, the PC's attack is hindered.
-- If an NPC uses a level of Effort ease an attack or special ability, the PC's defense roll against it is hindered.
-- If an NPC uses a level of Effort to increase damage and the PC fails their defense roll, the amount of damage
- inflicted is increased by 3---or by 2, if it was an [area attack](#special-situation-area-attacks).

-
-In addition to [health and other modifications](#understanding-the-listings), assigning how much Effort an NPC can use
-and how they use it is a great way to create dynamic individualized NPCs. The GM might assign a different types and
-levels of Effort for different NPCs. When assigning Effort to an NPC, the GM should consider the following options:
-
-- **Effort from Health:** Some NPCs can spend 1 health point to use one level of Effort. This is a major expense to a
- level 2 NPC, but a not a big deal to a level 6 NPC. This option is easy to account for, since health is already
- defined in the creature's listing.
-
-- **Effort from Level:** Some NPCs can use one level Effort a number of times equal to their level. This is a little
- trickier, requiring the GM to keep track of the NPC's available Effort. However, it might be a better method for
- followers the PC accounts for.
-
-- **Multiple Levels of Effort:** A few NPCs might be able to use multiple levels Effort. An NPC can't use a number of
- levels of Effort that exceeds their level, nor can they exceed the six-step limit for easing a task.
-
-- **Recovering Effort:** Persistent NPCs and followers should regain their ability to use of Effort, after a length of
- time determined by the GM.

-- **Berserker Clan:** The GM creates a tribe of raging level 3 [berserkers](#npc-berserker) with **Effort from
- Health**. Most of the berserkers can only spend one level of Effort at a time, but the GM allows the chieftain to
- spend up to three levels of Effort, spending 1 health point for each level of Effort she uses. This allows the
- chieftain to threaten the party's heavily armored warrior with deadly accuracy and damage. The GM also assigns the
- chieftain additional health for her spend her Effort from.
-
-- **Werewolf Pack:** The GM creates a pack of level 4 [werewolves](#creature-werewolf) with **Effort from Level** and
- **Multiple Levels of Effort**. Each werewolf might use their four levels of Effort differently: one level of Effort
- four times, two levels of Effort twice, or four levels of Effort just once (or some other combination). The point is
- that where, when, and how each werewolf uses their Effort becomes a source of drama within the story.

-Cypher Use](#ability-adroit-cypher-use){.og-ability}, and[Master Cypher Use](#ability-master-cypher-use){.og-ability}.
-There are also a number of [abilities related to cyphers](#abilities-category-cyphers-and-artifacts), for example:
-
-- [Extra Use](#ability-extra-use){.og-ability} allows for the possibility of holding onto a cypher after using it.
-- Tier 6 [Adepts](#type-adept) can choose the [Usurp Cypher](#ability-usurp-cypher){.og-ability} ability to make a
- cypher a permanent part of their repertoire.
-- The [Uses Wild Magic](#focus-uses-wild-magic) focus allows a PC to bear additional [subtle
- cyphers](#subtle-cyphers).
-
-In some settings, there might be an explanation for the [cypher limit](#cypher-limits), for example, unstable
-interactions between magic or high technology. Here are a few different ways a GM might handle a PC exceeding their
-cypher limit:
-
-- **Dampening:** All a PC's tasks are hindered by a number of steps equal to the number of cyphers they carry in
- excess of their limit. For example, a PC with a cypher limit of 3 carrying 5 cyphers would have all their tasks
- hindered by two steps.
-
-- **Maintenance:** A PC gaining a cypher in excess of their limit must succeed on an [Intellect](#intellect) task. The
- difficulty of the task is the number of cyphers in excess of the PC's limit they intend to bear, plus the level of
- the highest level cypher they intend to bear. For example, a tier 2 PC with a cypher limit of 2 attempting to gain a
- third level 4 cypher would need to succeed on a difficulty 5 Intellect task. On a failure, one of the cyphers is
- lost (determined randomly).
-
- Optionally, the GM might require the PC repeat the task the once each day, once each hour, or in addition to any
- other effects triggered by a [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion).
-
-- **Volatility:** The PC's [GM intrusion rate](#intrusion-through-player-rolls) is raised by 1 for each cypher they
- bear in excess of their limit. In addition to any other effects of the intrusion, the player loses one random cypher
- they bear. For example, a PC with a cypher limit of 2 who is bearing 4 cyphers would trigger a GM intrusion on a d20
- roll of 1--3. Such GM intrusions cause one random cypher the PC bears to produce volatile effects:

- 1 **Detonation:** The cypher explodes, dealing damage equal to the exploding cypher's level to creatures within an immediate range. The GM chooses an appropriate type for the damage. The level of the explosion is equal to the cypher\'s level, and the [stat](#character-stats) used to [defend](#action-defend) against the explosion and type of damage are determined by the GM. Targets in the area take 1 point of damage even if they succeed their defense roll, and if the PC bearing the exploding cypher fails their defense roll, they also lose one additional random cypher they bear.
- 2--3 **Unpredictability:** The cypher activates with unpredictable effects. The GM determines the modifications, which invert or distort one or more aspects of the cypher's effects, or produce effects of an entirely [random cypher](#choose-cyphers).
- 4--5 **Dissipation:** The cypher vanishes.
- 6 **Discharge:** The cypher activates randomly, affecting a random target within immediate distance of the PC or within range of the cypher (whichever distance is further).

+This CSRD differs from the OG-CSRD in some core ways: it is not a wide-reaching reference and guide to many things Cypher
+System, as Old Gus' Cypher System Reference Document is. This is an opinionated customization on top of and beyond the
+OG-CSRD; as such, editorial, custom content, links to products, and so on have been removed in creating this CSRD. It is
+meant to be one's particular flavor of the Cypher System, rather than a guide for any one to play and/or adapt the
+Cypher System. This differs from [Old Gus' editorial mission](#about-editorial-mission).
+
+Information beyond the core CSRD is provided in a variety of sidebars:
+
+::: {.alert .ps-4 .pb-0}
+Alerts include definitions, optional rules, play examples, or other useful information.
+:::
+
+::: {.og-sidebar .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
+Sidebars include official clarifications, context, or references to rules.
+:::
+
+::: {.alert .ps-4 .pb-0 .og-alert}
+An [index](#index) breaks down the contents of the CSRD across the chapter structure. Inline [Quick
+References](#choose-quick-reference) provide overviews chapters or important topics.
+:::
+
+::: {.og-ed .pt-3 .pb-1 .ps-3 .pe-3 .mt-3 .mb-3}
+**Editor's Notes ---** Misprints, clarifications, philosophy, commentary, or inline cross-references.
