[BNW] Hello, New to list and game

[Thomas Savard <tsavard@mediaone.net>]

Hi,

I am new to BNW but expect to be running something soon.  I assume
people will have asked questions I'm gonna ask before and I apologize
for that.  In any event, I do have a couple questions on game mechanics.

First off involves the Strength bonus of, say, the Goliath or the
Bouncer.  Am I right in assuming that the character would add his
Strength bonus plus his Fighting skill to his roll when attempting to
hit someone in close combat?  Thus making a Goliath have a roll of
5d6+10 as his base Fighting: Barehanded attack roll.  It seems mighty
high, especially when there isn't a similar speed type bonus for Martial
Arts in any of the power packages and a Gunner will end up with
basically the same ability to hit with a specified power...

My second question is a little more generic. If a character makes
multiple extra successes, can he apply those to different trick
effects?  Say Bull's Eye and Extra Damage.  Assuming that the character
made enough extra successes to activate each of these tricks?

Thanks for any help!

Tom
