A skill dice can be used to improve the skill level of skills. When expending a skill die, select a skill and roll the skill die. If the roll is higher than the next skill level, the skill is raised to that level. If a 6 is rolled, roll the die again. If the second roll is equal to or lower than the current skill level, gain a talent for the skill and then increase the skill one level as with a normal success. It is possible to spend a skill dice in the hope of gaining a talent for a skill that already is at skill level 5.

Note that no wild die is used for this roll.

When Improving a Character past character creation, as an alternative to rolling, it is possible to automatically increase a skill one level by paying as many skill dice as the new skill level. Since no roll is made, it is not possible to develop a talent using this option.
