    For rolls to Hit, I think it is the BEST of your skill OR Wild dice, not the SUM.
    So, if you have a pistol and your shooting gives you a d10 and you also have your d6 wild dice and you roll a 4 and a 5, it wouldn't be Nine (09), it would be the five (05).  If you "Ace" the wild dice and roll a "6" and then roll a 4, you'd have a 4 and a "10" and would choose the ten.  

    Pretty sure that's how both Fighting and Shooting work.

    Yes, that is correct.

    Wild Cards (players) roll a Wild Die (usually a d6)
    along with their Trait die when making
    Trait rolls and take the highest of the two
    as their total.

    Even though Strength is used to determine
    melee damage, this isn’t a Trait roll so Wild
    Cards don’t add a Wild Die to the roll.
