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 6 ranks, roll 6 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 Traits for the Skill you are using In the list below.
• Check your rank in those Traits and find whichever is higher. Add that many AP to your dice results. (5 ranks would give +5AP)
• 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 6, so he rolls 6 dice and gets the results: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
• The results of 1-3 earn no bonus, but the 4 and 5 grant +1AP each while the 6 gives +2AP for a total of +4AP.
• Steve now checks what Traits can be used and finds they are Acuity or Instinct (whichever is higher).
• His Acuity Trait is higher at rank 5, so he adds +5AP to his dice result of 4AP for a final total of 9AP.
• His final score for the Tinker Skill test is 9AP.
