[Torg] Reality Adds to 0

[Dominick Riesland]

Found it: Torg R&E page 163:
"Characters who lose adds in reality may build it back up by
accumulating Possibility Points in the normal way and buying the skill
adds as normal. If the character was reduced to zero adds, buying the
first add only costs one Possibility Point because they did not
entirely lose the skill, just the adds."

"There are always possibilities, my sergeant told me. But he never had
his possibilities torn away like wings from a fly."
