Karmic Dice in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a feature that balances out the good and bad results of dice rolls to make them more even, essentially tuning down the randomness a little bit. 

It can be found in the ‘Gameplay’ tab of the ‘Options’ menu, with the description stating, “Karmic Dice avoid failure or success streaks, while keeping the results mostly random.

For example, if you are disarming traps in the game and fail a few times, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Karmic Dice feature will eventually counter this and give you a higher roll that’s guaranteed to pass.

The Baldur’s Gate 3 Karmic Dice feature is enabled by default, and we personally suggest using it, as it will help you succeed a little more often and helps to retain the D&D power fantasy.
