Hmm...  Intriguing concept.  What happens if the modified result from the
dice rolls moves you over or under the maximum results?

Well, it's definitely a SIMPLE concept and easy to learn.  BUT it's very
counter-intuitive for a GM to come up with stuff on the fly.  It's also
very limited, because the results are limited to the seven results that 
the stats/skills are defined as.

Will have to think on this concept a bit more before I can give a final
opinion, but you definitely get marks for creative dice conventions!
