I think these posts are great, but I'm just going to chime in with my own system, based upon their systems. :)
I would propose the following:
| One Ability | Two Abilities (summed) |
(E) Easy | Roll 2d6 | Roll 4d6 |
(S) Standard | Roll 3d6 | Roll 6d6 |
(D) Difficult | Roll 4d6 | Roll 8d6 |
(V) Very Difficult | Roll 5d6 | Roll 10d6 |
(A) Arduous | Roll 6d6 | Roll 12d6 |
(N) Nigh-Impossible | Roll 7d6 | Roll 14d6 |
My reason for using only d6 instead of the d12s that Cyclopeatron proposes is this. Each attribute should generate at least one point of result on the roll. If you use d12s there is a possibility of rolling a "1" and that makes skill checks using two attributes a bit easier than rolling against only one attribute.
Adding the dice up might be too arduous (I haven't used this yet -- so I'm just in "theory mode" right now) so I'm thinking about how I could create a dice pool slash count successes system. Stay tuned!

Yeah, this is the type of think I try to keep real simple. Just make a quick roll and move on.
