When needing to resolve a specific action or a certain outcome has a need to be determined, you roll a dice pool of d10s. The size of the pool is determined by which STAT and SKILL is in question:

• If a person needs to outrun an angry mob, a roll of BODY+Running is appropriate.
• If a person needs to persuade a hostile individual to not harm them, a roll of CHARISMA+Persuasion is appropriate.
• A dice pool can never have more than 10 dice in it. If a combination of stats and skills exceed 10, the extra dice can be used to offset penalties, but not be rolled.
  

How to interpret the roll?
You look for matching sets of numbers. If you have even a single matching set, your action is successful. But the WIDTH and HEIGHT of the set can have huge impact on the outcome.

• The WIDTH of the set is how many dice ended up with the same number. The WIDTH determines how fast the action is resolved, and is used for damage and initiative in combat.
• The HEIGHT of the set is how high those numbers are. The HEIGHT is determines the quality of the action and determines Hit Location in combat, and solves initiative ties.

For example: If a person with 4 in the BODY stat and 3 in the Fighting skill needs to hit someone with a bat, that person rolls 7d10.
If he rolls the seven dice and gets 1,1,1,4,5,7,7,10, there are two matching sets, the three 1's (abbreviated 3×1) and the two 7's (2×7).

Special Dice
There exists two different special dice that can show increased control and finesse with a skill. These are called EXPERT DIE and MASTER DIE. They can only be applied to a SKILL, not a STAT and each SKILL can only have 1 special dice.

• EXPERT DIE are upgraded from a normal skill die and lets you set that die to a number of your choice before you roll the rest.
• MASTER DIE are upgraded from an EXPERT DIE. You set it aside before you roll the rest, and then set that die to a number of your choice.
