===Out of Combat Skills===
Whenever a character attempts to perform an action with some uncertainty of success, a skill check is performed. When dice are referred to it is meant to indicate a standard six-sided die There is a skill for each two color combination.

:*Black+Blue - Subtlety and Deception
:*Black+Green - Resourcefulness and Survival
:*Black+Red - Intimidate and Overpowering
:*Black+White - Thievery and Appraisal
:*Blue+Green - Innovation and Understanding
:*Blue+Red - Creativity and Crafting
:*Blue+White - Diplomacy and Bargaining
:*Green+Red - Athletics and Animal Handling
:*Green+White - First Aid and Healing
:*Red+White - Inspiration and Leadership

As a benchmark for what the standard of reference to determine success might be, you can use the following:

:*Easy: 2-4
:*Average: 6-8
:*Hard: 10-12
:*Challenging:14-16
:*Incredible: 20-22
:*Legendary: 24+

To determine success, the character rolls a number of dice equal to the number of color identities they possess that match the skill and compare it to a standard. For example, if a character had a color identity of [WUBB] and want to try sneaking past a night watchman [Subtlety, Average] he would roll three dice [one for the U and two for the BB in his color identity] and need to roll above a 7 to succeed. Some situations may be appropriate for more than one skill. In this situation, the character should use whichever skill is their strongest. If a character has no colors in any relevant skill, the action may still be attempted, but the character has only a single die to make use of.
