In BESM, Positive Modifiers were bad because the number was added your your ROLL.

In Tri-stat dX, Positive Modifiers are good because the number is added to your STAT.

It doesn't change the game dynamics any, You are still trying to roll UNDER your Stat. All the text change did was change it from a Negative Modifier making your rolled number smaller (good thing) to making it a Positive Modifier that makes your STAT number bigger, thus making it easier to roll under the said Stat. (Same result, different path)

I look at it as "6 one way, half a dozen the other."

I really don't understand why it's a major blocking stone, but to each their own.
