remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references

these are things that are not included in my version because they're
homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity that I don't feel
comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on

this 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

-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.

-The crabby hermit isn't difficult to hit, but it will be tough with only two combatants. Unless Chert and Rena decide

-be defeated by morale conditions rather than depletion of all of its health. The GM trusts Ori or Rena to come up with a

-
-[(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

-- **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
-[XP](#choose-xp). The GM decides which character options are available to PCs' fantastic forms, as outlined in the
-[Campaign Design Checklist](#campaign-design-checklist)---some settings will need to be more restrictive than others.

-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.
-
-##### Creating New Descriptors [#](#creating-new-character-options-descriptors){.og-h-anchor aria-hidden="true"} {#creating-new-character-options-descriptors .og-h-small}
-
-[(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).
-
-##### Creating New Types [#](#creating-new-character-options-types){.og-h-anchor aria-hidden="true"} {#creating-new-character-options-types .og-h-small}
-
-[(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).
-
-##### Creating New Flavors [#](#creating-new-character-options-flavors){.og-h-anchor aria-hidden="true"} {#creating-new-character-options-flavors .og-h-small}
-
-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-Since [flavors](#choose-flavor) can be chosen by any PC, it's best if their abilities stick to the power grades
-described in [Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities). Be careful to preserve PC niches. For example, if a
-[type](#choose-type) or [focus](#choose-focus) assigns a unique ability at tier 3, it might be best if a flavor offers
-it at tier 4 instead.
-
-You might not even need to design an entire flavor, and prefer to use the optional rule for [Personal
-Flavor](#optional-rule-personal-flavor) instead.

-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
- to choose a specific mutation, or require you to roll for a random one.

-
-- **Milestone Advancement:** This option is a variant of [Equal Advancement](#equal-advancement), except PCs purchase

- wait until all PCs are ready to advance, just before or after a significant event in the campaign, or as part of a
- specific step of a [character arc](#sample-character-arcs).
-
- An old-fashioned way of handling milestones is to require PCs to spend time, currency---or both---to advance to the
- next tier, potentially involving the instruction of a mentor or at least someone with something to teach the PC.
- Even if PCs do not reach new tiers at the same rate, some [character arcs](#character-arcs) can be addressed quite
- effectively during \"downtime\" between adventures, providing other PCs with the opportunity to pursue those, or go
- carousing and [explore](#arc-explore) nearby locations.
-
-- **Require More Advancements Each Tier:** The GM decides on a number of additional [character
- 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.
-
-- **Increased Advancement Costs by Tier:** Each tier, the cost for purchasing a character advancement is increased by
- 1 XP. Additionally, every two tiers, a PC can hold 1 additional XP.
