Well, I'd say it depends on if the wording is similar to "adds x to skill
rating", in which case you could add in Pool dice up to the skill Rating +
x, or if it said similar to "gives x extra dice to the skill roll", in which
case these dice are just that, extra, they don't increase the amount of Pool
dice you could add in too.
