I am a big fan of 3d6, but it makes higher DC rolls much harder.

curves or truncated V’s can shine

Interesting, what system uses d12+d8?

[–] Sandra@idiomdrottning.org 2 points 2 years ago

It's not for success rolls, it's for rolling on tables; there have been many d8+d12 tables in D&D over the years.

For example, encounter tables like "4: Brigands. 5: Wolves." etc.
