Tengwar for adversaries

Do we ignore Tengwar results for adversaries during an attack? (As opposed to heroes who add 1x of 2x damage rating.)

No, a creature rolling an Eye and three Tengwars will do some awesome damage.

According to pg 218 of the Revised Core Rulebook--
...If the character is an adversary or is described as a
fighter, the Attribute level is applied as a Damage
bonus when the creature or individual hits an
opponent rolling a great or extraordinary success
...
I've always ruled that a Great success (1 tengwar rune) adds Attribute Level to damage, and an Extraordinary success (2 tengwar runes) adds double the Attribute level to damage, similarly to what a great/extraordinary success grants to a player-hero when attacking. :)

Ah there it is, thx!

Pg 231 spells it out. Attribute level x1 on a great success and x2 in the case of an extraordinary success.
