Glad you like it :)

It's not quite like that. In 24 words it's difficult to explain... Let me try in the comments.

The skill only allows you to ignore negative dice - it doesn't grant you positive value. For instance, if you have a skill of 3, like you said, you can ignore 3 negative dice. But, you still need positive dice to succeed against an obstacle of 1 or 2. And that becomes harder with less dice.

It may not be the best solution... I'm open to suggestions. But I also wanted the dice to emulate HP or vitality - you become weaker as you lost.

What do you think?

You are doing a great job, especially with 24 word limit. The examples are really good as well. 

I dig the dice representing vitality.
Maybe instead of crossing off a die, a die becomes an automatic minus when losing vitality. That would also enhance the chance of a failure, the weaker you get. Or is the downward spiral to severe?

(sorry for taking so long to answer, but I missed the notification). I believe "auto minus" solution could lead to a downward spiral, like you also mentioned.

Let's imagine a player facing an obstacle of 2, with -2HP. To get a partial success they need:
A) + + on the dice roll  >>  3 dice (-2HP) VS -2
B) + + + + on the dice roll >> 5 dice VS -4 (-2HP)
both scenarios allow you to have a minus on a roll (if you have 1 skill point to ignore it) or a blank
I believe it's way harder to get B, and that's why I stayed with the A approach.

Your input is great. And I believe it suits the game perfectly, if you're playing an harder scenario, or a game with less rolls, or a game that allows you plenty of health recovery.

What do you think? Thanks for the discussion.

all good and reasonable <3
I was always considering making new rules to use with my fudge dice and when I came upon your rules, I was floored at how much it resonated to how I want rules to be. So I might be fiddling with your rules in the future ;D

Awesome! 
Feel free to take the discussion further. I'm not a social-media person, but I will gladly answer the best as I can (even if my english speech isn't the most articulated). 
Let me know when you do your thing  ;)
