You add your dots in one attribute to your dots in an asscociated ability if there is one. Take the total and that equels your dice pool. I then set a difficulty (same as DC in d20). The default difficulty for most actions is 6. So you then roll all the dice in your pool and count however many go over 6. This is your number of successes. Usually:1 success means you barely accomplished what you attempted.2 means you did it well3 means you did it better than expected4 means you did it really, really well. Much better than you needed to.5 is simply astounding. you did it as well as it can be done.etc.etc.Example:I needed to see how well your performance is going.You have 5 dots in performance and I decided to use Charisma (4 dots) since I figure that shows better on stage than simple Appearance.So.. 5+4 = 9 dice in your pool. That is a lot! I rolled against the default difficulty of 6 and you got 4 successes. It is an awesome performance by anyone's standards. Your Appearance check was really remarkable. You had five dice in your pool and got 5 successes against a difficulty of 6. You are now a lightning rod of attention.That make sense?</blockquote>
