For JAGS, on p 17 in the JAGS Revised edition, there is a small amount of guidance for picking difficulties to modify skills and attributes during checks.

Using a mixture of different difficulty charts, this is my attempt to fill in a little more detailed gradual list of adjectives to describe difficulty. I take a little from p. 17, GURPS 4e, 3.5 edition, and even 5e to blend it together to form this list.

Difficulty Description	modifier
Impossible
Nearly Impossible	-10
	-9
Dangerous	-8
Heroic	-7
Extremely Difficult, Formidable, Very Hard	-6
Challenging	-5
Difficult, Tough, Hard	-4
	-3
Very Unfavorable	-2
Unfavorable	-1
Average, Medium	0
Favorable	1
Very Favorable	2
	3
Easy, Simple	4
	5
Very Easy	6
	7
Trivial	8
	9
Nearly Automatic	10

I'm going to try this list out and see how it performs.
