A steampunk setting by Privateer Press, the Iron Kingdoms is a d6-based rpg where several different human and non-human kingdoms vie for control (or survival) in the western half of the continent Immoren.

Having just been re-released in 2012 by Privateer Press, the Iron Kingdoms is a steampunk universe where mechanika, the fusion of magic and engineering, has given rise to powerful weapons and giant steam-powered machines known as jacks. Closely related to PP's other products WarMachine and Hordes (both of which are tabletop war games placed in the same setting), Iron Kingdoms uses a d6-based system for combat and skill resolution. Instead of using a grid, movement and ranges are all handled in inches from the edge of a model's base to the desired spot/target.

Does the Genius ability boost all skills involving INT or just INT rolls?

In the RPG Iron Kingdoms there is an archetype ability called Genius which says all INT rolls are boosted. Does that mean all skills involving INT are boosted, or only INT rolls themselves?
