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

So this is like when Apple changed shuffle from purely random to something that was less random but better fit people's idea of random?

To assist players with their hit chance, Karmic Dice is designed “to bend RNG in the rolling character’s favour” for those attack rolls, saving throws, and dialogue roll moments. One thing to note about this design is that it also applies to NPCs and enemies, which means they can also land those critical hits on you during combat for additional damage.

I think it's to stop a bunch of "misses" from happening to you, but it helps enemies too.
