Can skills go below zero for a check?

By Guest, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Here's a scenario:

I have Fight of 1 and a weapon that adds +1 to Combat checks. The monster I'm fighting have a combt modifier of -3. If I spend a clue token, do I gain a die, or does it vanishes because of the "extra" -1?

well, it says: Spending a Clue token *always* gives you the bonus dice, even if the modifier has dropped the number of dice you can roll below zero, so I guess you do.

(somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

thx! much appreciated

That's right. Clues always give you the dice you're entitled to. You DON'T have to buy your way back up to zero first.
