In some situations, you need to know more than whether the character has succeeded at something � you need how well she succeeded. When that�s the case, check the result against the Success Level Chart. The greater the number of Success Levels, the better the character did. Some difficult tasks require more than one Success Level.
Example: When a character attacks someone, how well they struck influences how much they hurt the target. Add the Success Levels of the attack roll to the base damage of the attack. On the flip side, for uses of the Doctor Skill, each Success Level heals one point of damage.
For Supporting Cast Members that have Ability Scores, the damage listed in their Combat Manoeuvres already includes the bonus for Success Levels.
