GURPS, the Generic Universal Roleplaying System, uses only d6, with the biggest rolls tending to max out around 10d6. It’s very flexible, and is based around the power scale of “heroic realism”, aka action movie schlock.
Characters can do badass stuff but if you get shot you typically die pretty quick. I’ve used it to run/play in the following games:
cyberpunk heists
kung fu movie knockoff
D&D with the serial numbers filed off
tactical mech combat
rules-light game in not!Ancient Greece where the PCs were godlings
