I'm new on this group and haven't looked at FUDGE close enough
to comment to how to handle tools and other objects.  However,
I can comment on the use of dice.

I suggest using the difference between 2d6.  Use dice of different
colors to preserve the sign (the results are identical to 2d6-7):

diff:   -5   -4   -3   -2   -1    0    1    2    3    4    5
1/36     1    2    3    4    5    6    5    4    3    2    1
%      2.8  5.6  8.3 11.1 13.9 16.7 13.9 11.1  8.3  5.6  2.8

For a slightly more compact curve, count 6 as 1 (i.e. dice
come up 6 and 4, the 6 is replaced by a 1 and the result is
-3):

diff:        -4   -3   -2   -1    0    1    2    3    4
1/36          2    3    4    5    8    5    4    3    2
%           5.6  8.3 11.1 13.9 22.2 13.0 11.1  8.3  5.6
