In other words, for task or attack resolution, lower rolls are better.

Ok, so 3d6, roll under DX, modified by situational factors equipment etc. I was confused by this:

Which shows 1 to 6 dice being rolled in the linked table.
EDIT: Ok, I see there are situations where you roll DX with 2 or 4 dice for special situations (like attacking a foe defending etc)
