When rolling for a Skill, the player rolls a number of ten-sided dice(d10) equal to his Skill Dice, choosing the highest roll and adding it to the Attributes associated with that Skill. The character's Skill Rank is then added to this number. The result is his Skill Total for that action.
Example: Victor has a Swordsmanship of 8. He attacks, rolling a 9, an 8, a 7, and a 2. His highest roll was 9, so he adds that to his Skill of 8, then to his Reflexes of 4 and Dexterity of 3, for a total of 24.
