I’m new to both DnD and cRPGs, I’ve read about what the karmic dice does but I wanted to know your opinions as well.

Does it really make it for a “better” experience? Can fights go seriously wrong or extend for a longer time when not using it? What do you all think about it?

EDIT: please read this comment by @burgundymyr@sh.itjust.works, it explains how the dice really works, something I didn’t get at first, thank you burgundymyr!

    I left it on. I haven’t seen any datamined information on the system so it’s all just placebo as far as I’m concerned. Like a fake thermometer that people can adjust all they want to make themselves feel better. Maybe it does something, maybe it doesn’t (though it probably does).

    But I put 0 stock in how people “feel” about the randomness since they’re not doing real testing and it’s all likely confirmation bias.
