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 @[email protected], it explains how the dice really works, something I didn't get at first, thank you burgundymyr!

Playing on easy for my first game. I have left it on and I still fail on some of my rolls. Over all I feel like it's boosting my rolls to be better. Fights are easy unless a spell or mechanic I don't know or understand goes off. The dialogue, if I select the option I have the best bonuses in I tend to get by all of them. Really stealth and traps have been my biggest hurdle. The AI keeps walking into them when I move.

I played on easy so far too, I left it on because it's default and I was too new to even understand what it does. I didn't find fights particularly difficult either, for stealth, traps and lockpicks I use Astarion, he's exceptional at it.

Now I started a new playthrough even if I didn't finish the first one yet, because I wanted to try normal difficulty, so I was wondering if karmic dice is really worth it.
