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

    I’m not sure if what I played through EA with was Karmic Dice or the weighted option from before, but personally it felt like it actually stacked things against me. I had built for fairly high AC but found that I was still getting hit a ton, and since my AC requires such higher hit rolls, I was getting crit a ton. Once I tried another playthrough with the option turned off, rolls suddenly felt a lot fairer and weren’t punishing me for making a tanky character

      Yeah, it should affect both ends of the spectrum.

      If you (or an enemy) fail a roll, your next will be more likely to succeed. It’s like the “gambler’s fallacy”, but real.
