hey there! thanks for the question!!!
i must clarify and expand this: my approach is: if you get the tool number in any of the dice, that counts as a single success, regardless of how many dice show that number.
Example:
you’re rolling under 4 and you got 5 dice total in the pool. the tool chosen is number 2. the roll turns up as 6 4 2 1 1
You got 2 regular hits ( 1 and 1), a hit from your tool (2) and a question (4), to a total of 3 hits and a question.
