Admit it: You just want to stop some bitching, eh? ;)

Sweet. This will also mean, that in some cases one will roll a higher
number of dice, right? Frex: I have Edge 4, Cha 2 and Intimidation 1.
Modifiers bring this down to -4 (I wanted to intimidate an ice-cold,
top-noth killer in his own turf.). So I spend the edge point, and then
roll with four dice, right?
