remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references
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

-If you lack the available [Pool](#pool) points to pay the cost of performing a task, you can pay the remainder of the
-cost from your other Pools, in the same order they are depleted by [taking damage](#the-effects-of-taking-damage):
-[Might](#might), then [Speed](#speed), and finally, [Intellect](#intellect). When you do, you don't change your

-Using this house rule, a wizard who is out of \"mana\" (Intellect points) might resort to blood sacrifice, casting
-spells by spending points from their Might Pool instead. A battered warrior whose Might and Speed pools are nearly
-depleted might yet be able to mount a defense---or final heroic act---by mustering their willpower (Intellect points).
-In either case, this is a risky strategy---placing PCs at risk of quickly moving even further down the damage track.
-However, abilities like [Mind for Might](#ability-mind-for-might){.og-ability} and [Think Your Way
-Out](#ability-think-your-way-out){.og-ability} might feel a little less special when using this rule.
