When making a Skill test:

• First, roll a number of D6 (six-sided dice) equal to your rank in the Skill.
• 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 the highest rank between them. Gain AP equal to the higher rank.
• Combine your dice results with your Trait bonus
• This total is your score for the test.

Example: Steve is making a Mech Lore test to repair his vehicle.

• His rank in Mech Lore 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 these are Acuity or Resolve (whichever is higher).
• His Acuity Trait is higher at rank 5, so he adds +5AP to the test.
• Lastly, Steve combines his dice results with his Trait bonus (4AP + 5AP) for a total of 9AP
• 9AP is the final score for Steve's Mech Lore test.
