===Quality of Success===
;Quality of Success: In nearly all instances, simply succeeding is not enough. Players need to know how *well* they succeeded. To determine this, a character’s Gear will work to enhance the quality of success. In combat terms, Quality of Success is part of what determines damage dealt.
;Base Quality:The base quality is equal in value to the tens digit on the dice rolled, plus one. If the roll was 56, the base quality is 6. If the dice roll is 03, then base quality is 1.
;Gear Mods:The Gear a character uses will often determine how well a character did in a task. All pieces of Gear will have a Success Mod. To get the final quality of success, take the base quality and multiply it by the Gear’s Success Mod. If the base quality is 3 and the Gear’s mod is x4, then final quality is 12. Only the highest Success Mod of any Gear used in the attempt can be factored into Quality, unless the character has one of the Gear Head advantages. In the case of combat and weapons, this final quality determines damage done.
;Degree of Success:If using the optional DoS rules (see below), then this can enhance or degrade the final quality. Any Normal success results do not modify the final quality. Marginal successes reduce final quality by 1/4. Critical successes increase final quality by 1/4. Perfect successes increase final quality by x2.
