Deadlands (well classic Deadlands) is amazing! But dice explode or can, so you can succeed on a d4! If you got a 4 on the d4, you’d roll again and add it to the original dice. So you roll a 4 then a 3? Got a 7! They could keep exploding. 4,4,4,3? You betcha! Fun times. So lower dice could actually do it slightly more often. Because it was a 1 in 4 chance instead of say a 1 in 12. Still better to have bigger dice. And more of them.
