-[(OG-CSRD Editorial Addition)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
-
-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.
