What is Karmic Dice in BG3?
The in-game description of Karmic Dice reads, “Karmic Dice avoid failure or success streaks while keeping the results mostly random.” This feature works to balance out the good and bad outcomes of the dice. The Karmic Dice affects the gameplay rolls, including attack rolls, saving throws, and dialogue rolls, in favor of the roller. So, if you are rolling consistently bad outcomes, the odds of the next roll being good will increase in your favor. This system works for any NPC or enemy.
Keep in mind that the Karmic Dice works to stop you from getting a streak of the same outcomes. So, it can be a blessing to turn a bad streak into a good one. However, it can also work the other way around, as it also has the ability to turn a good streak into a bad one. In some cases, a bad roll can mean the wipeout of your entire party.
