-Some players hate to fail a roll. If players decide [roll the die](#rules-rolling-the-die), and then decide how many
-levels of [Effort](#effort) after rolling, they will never never feel like Effort used was \"wasted\" because of a low
-roll. However, this introduces new efficiency in [Pool](Pool) point expenditure, and might require the GM to find new
-ways of challenging the PCs. Here are a two possible arrangements:
-
--   **Apply Effort After Rolling:** Before you [roll the die](#rules-rolling-the-die), decide how many levels of
-    [Effort](#effort) to apply to the task. After you roll the die and know the result, you can decide how each level
-    Effort used is applied, for example, easing the task to succeed, inflicting additional damage, or do something else
-    specified by a [special ability](#choose-abilities).
-
--   **Declare Effort After Rolling:** After you [roll the die](#rules-rolling-the-die) and know the result, you can
-    choose to use [Effort](#effort) on the task, for example, easing the task to succeed, inflicting additional damage,
-    or do something else specified by a [special ability](#choose-abilities). When using this option, the GM might
-    decide that a [special roll](#rules-special-rolls) of natural 20 doesn't decrease the point cost of the action to
-    0.
