The fun of Baldur’s Gate 3 relies on variations of success and failure when you roll the dice. But what if you wanted to play BG3 with weighted dice

    @Hairyblue I’m annoyed to discover it’s on by default. I looked at settings, but I didn’t know what it was. I’m traditionally terrible at games and have been okay in this one except for a few horribly hard battles, and was feeling good about it. I’ll probably play on easy for a character or two, and have one on normal mode, but still feel hoodwinked.

      The way Karmic dice works, it’s not helping you with combat unless you’re fighting a really high AC character or trying to bypass a high save. It’s just even out your rolls if you’re failing a lot then it makes success more likely, if the enemy fails a lot it will help them (so a really high AC build will actually get worse with Karmic Dice on.

      Leave it on if you want everyone to succeed more often, turn it off if you want the rolls to be accurate.

      The dice will be “fair” either way as they apply to all rolls, enemy and any alike.

      Why would you feel hoodwinked?

      Larian makes strategic RPGs for people that play RPGs. It’s not like they lie about what their games are about or their difficulty.

      Also, early access is for the developers to test out the game with a much larger pool than just the regular play testers. If anything it’s let the devs know how good or bad an idea is.
