"additional die during this battle" and Additional Dice

By DaveNYC, in Relic

Can anyone clarify this rule? There are threat cards and wargear cards that call for you to roll "1 additional die during this battle." The relevant rulebook information is on page 20. Do you add the dice together or do you choose the highest die and discard the lower die? I think it's the former (add dice together), but would like some clarification from veteran players.

Thanks.

Add them together. There is no mention of choosing one die and discarding the other, so they add up.

Right, that's what I figured. Thanks.
