If you have an Avoidance of 2 - does that mean that if they bad guy hits you with two successes you take damage, or does the bad guy need three successes to hit.
The book is not very clear - it says you compare to the avoidance but I cannot find where it seem to work.
The example on page 182 does a really good job of clarifying the whole combat thing. The attacker rolls 5 successes against an opponent with an Avoidance of 3, giving him 2
excess successes to apply to damage.
Another way to look at it is the target's Avoidance is the D# to succeed at your task. A D3 roll means you need to roll at least 3 successes to succeed at the roll. So the target's Avoidance is the number of successes you need to roll to hit. Perfectly consistent.
Hope that helps,
