You can spend Edge to push the limit allowing you to roll additional dice equal to your Edge and re-roll sixes. In this case, do you re-roll sixes and then stop or keep re-rolling sixes until you don't get any sixes.

Example:  I make a Negotiation Test with Charisma 12 and Negotiation 6 then add my 4 edge to the dice pool.
I get 7 hits 4 of which are sixes.
I re-roll my sixes and get 2 hits 1 of which is a six.   

Do I roll the last six again or do i stop here?

it doesn't specify, so it is really up to your table.


Our table, you keep rolling until you no longer get a six, which can lead to some spectatular success stories.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

Historically, you keep rolling as long as you get any sixes..

That's been my understanding of it.

Jeeze.  It would almost sound stupid until you realize we're talking about an immortal elf clown sword fighting a dragon ghost in a mall.
