Using d8's, 2d8 for untrained, 3d8 for trained, 4d8 for trained + skill focus, with and without the a stat bonus of +4 you get these numbers  which works out to a little worse chance for the untrained person at higher difficulties and a better chance for the trained/skillfocused person. So 2d8 penalizes the untrained but benefits the trained person.  This would have the effect of rewarding those characters that train in a skill with a better chance of success which may or may not be what you're looking for.  And on a rather whimsical nature it is typically easier to find d6's than d8's in larger quantities at most gaming tables. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2d8DC 5 success rate 90%DC 8 success rate 67%DC 10 success rate 46%DC 12 success rate 31%DC 15 success rate 17%DC 18 success rate 10%DC 20 success rate 6%DC 22 success rate 3%DC 25 success rate 2%3d8DC 5 success rate 99%DC 8 success rate 93%DC 10 success rate 83%DC 12 success rate 70%DC 15 success rate 47%DC 18 success rate 30%DC 20 success rate 22%DC 22 success rate 13%DC 25 success rate 9%4d8DC 5 success rate 99%DC 8 success rate 99%DC 10 success rate 96%DC 12 success rate 92%DC 15 success rate 78%DC 18 success rate 60%DC 20 success rate 48%DC 22 success rate 33%DC 25 success rate 25%2d8+4DC 5 success rate 100%DC 8 success rate 95%DC 10 success rate 84%DC 12 success rate 67%DC 15 success rate 38%DC 18 success rate 21%DC 20 success rate 15%DC 22 success rate 8%DC 25 success rate 5%3d8+4DC 5 success rate 100%DC 8 success rate 99%DC 10 success rate 98%DC 12 success rate 93%DC 15 success rate 77%DC 18 success rate 55%DC 20 success rate 41%DC 22 success rate 26%DC 25 success rate 19%4d8+4DC 5 success rate 100%DC 8 success rate 100%DC 10 success rate 99%DC 12 success rate 99%DC 15 success rate 94%DC 18 success rate 83%DC 20 success rate 73%DC 22 success rate 54%DC 25 success rate 43%</blockquote>
