It's time to roll the karmic dice. Or not, it's up to you.

."Options are good. If you feel like you're failing too many rolls, it'll balance it out like a friendly DM. Like D&D groups, we give folks options to help hone the experience to their taste." In a follow-up tweet, Douse added:"The dice will always ensure you have a story to tell, but if you want the RNG gods to be slightly weighted in your favour, then karmic dice is for you.

It's a good way to look at it, though frustratingly it still doesn't really solve the issue of whether it's better to have the feature toggled on or off. The overall consensus seems to be that it's something which helps low-level or inexperienced players a lot more earlier on, but those with a better grasp on the inner workings of D&D may find it interrupts the flow of the gameplay in a noticeable manner.

I've personally been playing with karmic dice on and haven't noticed it being particularly brutal, though I'm a total D&D newbie so I hardly know what I'm doing in the first place. Staff writer Harvey Randall tells me he's been playing with the option turned off the whole time and it's been fine, while senior editor Robin Valentine says he's been experimenting with toggling the feature on and off and hasn't seen it make much of a difference.
