So use a smaller number of dice -- 1 to 5, for example.

And yes, in D&D there does come to be a point where the roll becomes meaningless. I never played high level campaigns of that because they made me ill.

The problem I have with static numbers of dice (like /always/ rolling 2d8) is you run into the problem that comes with d20 -- That is, your skill becomes irrelevant, you rely wholy on the luck of the dice. Dicepools eliminate this problem by exponentially decreasing your chance of failure as your sk...
