Editing XCOM: At Any Cost (section)

=====Pushing Stress=====
Character may shoulder through their pain and suffering and use it as a motivator rather than a setback.

Spend a PP, and instead of adding the Stress to the opposing dice pool, you add it to your own dice pool for that test or contest. Using Stress in this fashion has an additional cost. After the test or contest is resolved, the Stress die included in your dice pool is stepped up by one. This may result in the PC being Stressed Out if the die is stepped up past d12.
