-The dice are not used as a sum but as individual values.+In the usual situation of dice roll tests, ​dice are not used as a sum but as individual values.

 +=== Testing as total score ===
 +
 +In some rare cases, the dice pool is directly used as a total score. In that case all dice are rolled and we make the sum of their individual values. The result will the the **total score**. ​
 +
 +When tested as a total score, there is no success or failure, unless the total score itself is then tested as such.
  
 === Resilience === === Resilience ===
  
-Dice Pools also express a Resilience ​that is sometimes used as a way to see how many times that attribute was tested, and represent some aspect of "​Fatigue"​ that affects this value.+Resilience is a rule which is optionally used by a test. 
 +All Dice Pools also express a Resilience.

 Resilience has a base which is its starting value, and can be drained, and then restored, or even exceed its maximum in rare situations. Resilience has a base which is its starting value, and can be drained, and then restored, or even exceed its maximum in rare situations.

-Resilience can usually be recovered once a team, character or asset is back at at colony and no longer tests this specific attribute, with one point recovered per day.+Resilience can usually be recovered once a team, character or asset is back at at colony and no longer tests this specific attribute, ​**with one point recovered per day** of rest in the Colony.

 +=== Resting? === 
 + 
 +The Resilience mechanic implies that an Away Team has an interest in resting before going back to a new mission. This refines the production and exploitation mechanic.  
 + 
 +A player could use an alternate Away Team, or disband that team (losing its team experience) and set up another. 
 + 
 +Characters too have their Stamina which they should recover, and with time we will also develop a Resilience impact on their individual skills.
