Quick question: What does the Willpower option do to dice rolls?

I used the Exalted roller for a Crucible based game because they have similar styles and accidentally checked the 'use willpower' option. I'm wondering if it affects the rolls at all, or just the successes.

It assumes you spent a will power point and added an automatic success.
 
In Exalted, characters can 'spend a temporary Willpower point' to garner an additional success, above and beyond what the dice would give. Used elsewhere, it would give an extra success.

Yeah, got that. I just wanted to make sure these dice-rolls (Not the successes, the dice rolls themselves) were good

The only problem you have is that it appears to be counting the 11 and 12 as two successes (a result of a 10 in Exalted confers two successes), when in Crucible a natural roll of 12 causes the die to 'explode', allowing it to be rerolled.

That's cool. The actual successful rolls are the ones that've been colored in and the difficulty threshold is correct, so I'll roll with these.
 
Yeah. If you ignore the line that counts successes for you, which you have to anyway because Exalted doubles and Crucible explodes, then the Willpower option is irrelevant.
