Check out the Dominions series, which just released it's 6th installment this week! It uses "exploding D6s" for it's rolls, which means rolling a bunch of D6s and then re-rolling any 6s (recursively) and summing the result. This results in a fascinating long-tailed distribution (similar to advantage/disadvantage) so that even the weakest unit can deal damage to bosses on occasion.
I didn't mention it but I stole this wholesale! It does add a very nice long tail.
