Exploding Dice

Any time you roll a natural 6 on a d6, the die "explodes": you must roll again and add the result of the second die to your roll. If you succeed on the result, this is considered a critical success. Keep doing this as long as you roll natural 6s. When your die explodes, you must roll again (it is not optional). Some abilities allow dice to explode on a 5 or 6; in this case either natural roll means you roll again.
