Somewhere during the Early Access Larian introduced the loaded / Karmic dice, to even out extreme effects of dice rolls. In EA this was enabled at default, and I assume the same will be true for the final release. It feels like it is a less pure D&D feature, since D&D gameplay is based on die rolls.

What do you think? Play with or without the Karmic Dice option enabled? And why?

On if you have no clue what you're doing.

Off if you're good at making OP characters and familiar with 5e.

It always makes rolls favor the one rolling, with a bigger bonus the more they've failed. So if you have a low attack bonus and miss frequently you'll hit more often. But if you have a tank with 22 AC, they'll also get hit (and crit) far more often with it on.

I'm fairly familiar with 3.5 and pathfinder 1 rules but never played 5e, how would it translate in terms of character building?

It is actually a bit frustrating coming from those systems as i feel they are much better lol. The gsme is still fun though, i just wish it made informatiom about skills more detailed or accessible.
