Booster Icons

If you have a character with 2 Investigation Booster Icons, can you get 2 extra investigation successes?

If so could you then get 5 story successes (3 for investigation success, 1 for skill, and 1 for unopposed)  in one turn?

No. Just like having 15 Combat vs 1 Combat will only cause 1 wound on the losing side, having 4 Investigation will only net you 1 success token. Exceptions are possible, like Halflings of D'haz for Combat. Having more icons just means you're more likely to win said struggle.

However, if you add struggles to a story, they you might get more success tokens. Core Set has a Miskatonic card that adds IIA to a story, meaning you can get 5 success in a turn, 3 Investigation struggles could give you 3, 1 for skill, 1 for unopposed.

But isn't that what Booster Icons do?I think, the OP is talking about CCG character cards which could have booster icons that added struggles to a story they were comitted to.

That is correct.  If you had a character with two investigation booster icons you would have three total investigation struggles in the story that turn.  So, yea, if you had more icons, then you could pick up 3 tokens that way, and if you win the final skill struggle, you'd get one and if it was all unopposed you'd get another- for 5 total in one turn.  Cool huh?  That's why a characters with two investigation booster icons would get the shotgun blast when he entered a story.
