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!

It's a sort of bad luck protection to avoid making you roll low for too many times in a row, it's an on/off toggle in game settings. The downside is it also works for enemies.

The actual math behind it is not know however (unfortunately).
