Looking at the Karmic Dice system, you'll notice some interesting timing patterns especially during combat sequences. When enemies prepare attacks, the system actively adjusts roll probabilities which becomes super noticeable against high AC builds around the 15-20 range. Pay attention to how enemy success rates spike during their attack sequences, particularly on Tactician where you might see them landing hits 80% of the time even against well-defended targets.
The really crucial part is watching those consecutive rolls, since the system has specific triggers for adjusting probabilities after streaks. After about 3-4 successful hits or misses, you'll start seeing the system force corrections which is why optimized characters with +6 or higher modifiers sometimes get hit with surprising natural 1s. This correction pattern gets more aggressive during intense combat phases, especially when multiple enemies are involved.
Tip: if youre running a specialized build with high AC or save bonuses, might be worth toggling the system off since it specifically counterbalances those investments. The sweet spot for keeping it enabled is actually during early game progression or if youre learning the core mechanics, since it smooths out those nasty RNG spikes that can wreck a new character. Just remember that enemy compensation kicks in harder past difficulty level 2, so adjust your defensive positioning accordingly

I find Shadowheart's comments annoying whenever i do something borderline unlawful but idk if id want to leave her out or swap with Karlach

for example i want Wyll to be able to use magic that Gale uses despite him being a Warlock - so basically the difference would probably lie on their cantrips and spells??? kind of confused need help
