 Making tests in Horizon: out of the ashes is a fairly simple process once you're used to it, though it may seem complicated at first. To make the best explanation,​ it's important to first understand how a Character is built and what the different stats are intended to do. Making tests in Horizon: out of the ashes is a fairly simple process once you're used to it, though it may seem complicated at first.

 Skills represent the knowledge, training and practice your Character has with a specific activity. To represent this, your rank in a Skill provides you with a fixed bonus whenever you use that Skill. The bonus is always equal to the Skill'​s rank. Skills represent the knowledge, training and practice your Character has with a specific activity.

-__TRAITS__+=== Traits ===
  
 Traits represent your Character'​s fundamental attributes, such as how intelligent they are, how nimble they are and so on. This means that Traits will improve your Passive stats, like Health, Stamina, etc., but also that they may benefit certain Skills when you are more "​talented"​ in the relevant area. When rolling your dice for a test, the number you need to roll is always the same or less than your best Trait for that Skill. Each die that does so gives +2 score. You will always roll 5 d10 dice, regardless. Traits represent your Character'​s fundamental attributes, such as how intelligent they are, how nimble they are and so on.
