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 @[email protected], it explains how the dice really works, something I didn’t get at first, thank you burgundymyr!

Exactly. It seems like it mostly benefits checks that are closer to 50%, artificially giving more variance to prevent streaks. But if you have Astarion picking a DC 10 lock with +19 modifiers, I really don’t want the game to muck with my 95% chance to succeed. I mean, I do have 55 picks but that’s not the point.
