Skill Test Reference
When making a Skill test:
- First, roll a number of D6 (six-sided dice) equal to your rank in the Skill you are using. (if you have 5 ranks, roll 5 dice)
- Each D6 result of 4 or 5 grants +1AP, while a 6 grants +2AP instead. Add up the results for your roll. (AP stands for Action Points - the more you get, the better you do)
- Next, find the matching Trait for the Skill you are using In the list below.
- Check your rank in that Trait. Add that many AP to your dice results. (3 ranks would give +3AP)
- This total is your score for the test.
Example: Steve is making a Tinker Skill test to repair his vehicle.
- His rank in Tinker is 5, so he rolls 5 dice with the results 1, 3, 4, 5, 6.
- The results of 4 and 5 grant +1AP each while the 6 gives +2AP for a total of +4AP.
- Steve now checks what Trait is used for the Tinker Skill and finds that it is Acuity.
- His Acuity Trait is rank 3, so he adds +3AP to his dice result of 4AP for a final total of 7AP.
- His final score for the Tinker Skill test is 7AP.
