+  \subsection{Skill Rolls}
+
+  To perform a skill roll:
+  \begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item \textbf{Assemble Base Dice}: Start with a number of base dice (D6) equal to your \textbf{Attribute + Skill Level}.
+    \item \textbf{Add Stress Dice}: Add a number of stress dice equal to your current \textbf{Stress Level}.
+    \item \textbf{Roll All Dice}: Roll all dice together. You need at least one \textbf{6} to succeed.
+    \item \textbf{Count Successes}: Each \textbf{6} beyond the first gives bonus effects (extra damage, quicker completion, etc.).
+  \end{enumerate}
+
+  \subsubsection{Modifiers}
+  The GM or gear can add or remove base dice. You can never roll fewer than one base die. Modifiers never affect stress dice.
+
+  \subsubsection{Helping}
+  Up to three characters can help with a roll. Each helper gives \textbf{+1 die}. In combat, helping costs your full action.
+
+  \subsubsection{Rolling Without Skill}
+  If you lack the required skill, roll only your attribute score as base dice (plus stress dice).
+
+  \vspace{10pt}
+  \subsection{Pushing Your Roll}
+  If you fail, or want more successes, you can \textbf{push} the roll:
+  \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item Increase your stress level by \textbf{+1}.
+    \item Add one stress die to your pool.
+    \item Re-roll all dice that did \textbf{not} show \textbf{6}.
+    \item All dice count after the re-roll (including those not re-rolled).
+  \end{itemize}
+
+  \textbf{Restrictions:}
+  \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item You can only push \textbf{once} per roll.
+    \item If you rolled \textbf{1} on any stress dice, you \textbf{cannot push}.
+  \end{itemize}
+

+  \subsection{Stress Response}
+  If you roll \textbf{1} on one or more stress dice, trigger a stress response. Roll D6, add your Stress Level, subtract your Resolve, and consult the table:

+    $\leq$0 & \textbf{Keeping Cool.} No effect. \\ \hline
+    1 & \textbf{Jumpy.} When pushing, gain +2 stress instead of +1. \\ \hline
+    2 & \textbf{Tunnel Vision.} --2 dice on Wits-based rolls. \\ \hline
+    3 & \textbf{Aggravated.} --2 dice on Empathy-based rolls. \\ \hline
+    4 & \textbf{Shakes.} --2 dice on Agility-based rolls. \\ \hline
+    5 & \textbf{Frantic.} --2 dice on Strength-based rolls. \\ \hline
+    6 & \textbf{Deflated.} You cannot push any rolls. \\ \hline
+    7+ & \textbf{Mess Up.} Action fails regardless of dice rolled. Stress +1. \\ \hline
+  \end{tabular}
+
+  \vspace{3pt}
+  \textit{If you get a response you already have, gain +1 stress instead.}
