5 higher than the target number.  Otherwise, if your TN was 11 due to
modifiers, you would automatically get a raise if you mad the check?!?!

Anytime the rules say "each success" that means on a single die.  Also, it
really means "each success plus raise.  So in your example, you would get
three successes (for the 15)

Highest die...

Highest die roll...

hat your player said...
