Luck allows you to roll 3 times and take the best result. If your skill is below 3, it would either be outright unusable (on account of the GM not allowing a roll, which is the RAW) or only serve to make you less likely to roll a critical failure (if the GM is using a houserule that allows for a roll but doesn't allow you to succeed, the roll is just a check of "how badly do you fail").
