Another edge case that could have been derived from the wording is that it makes critical much more likely.

If you roll a 5 when you have an effective skill of 13 to 4, it could be a critical success (since your roll is now a 4).
If you roll a 7 when you have an effective skill of 16+, it could also be a critical success (since your roll is now a 6).

The chance of critical success could have increased even further if you had Bless 2.

Great to know that it modifies what you roll against, not the die roll itself.
