To add a further quirk to them, maybe getting hurt empties your effort pools, but how much you had in them mitigates the injury, so if someone stabs you, well that eats up your concentration and stamina, but if you had a lot of stamina the stab does less damage, and if you had a lot of concentration you maybe pull back at the last instant, so you suffer a less serious wound.
