Zero and Negative Dice Pools and Success Adders

If we follow standard rules then 2nd Excellency (and other success adders) will trump 0 or negative dice pools.

Even if your dice pool is 0 or negative your action will resolve with 0 success from unable to roll + success from dice adders.

This is unacceptable to me.

So for my game

You must qualify to attempt the action (e.g. higher than 0 dice pool) before your success adders kick in.  If you are unable to even roll then your action automatically fails and you cannot even attempt to use success adders.
