The "dice" is heavily fudged

[aG| Mudge]

Dice are simply a physical representation of a RNG but the "dice" rolls in game are SO SO SO fudged its not funny.
Did Dev's not learn anything from Xcom and fudging numbers ?
it is STATISTICALLY impossible to roll that badly ... ever .. if a new player rolled rolled this bad all the time in pen'n'paper they'd never play again.
PLEASE dev's do not fudge the dice rolls.. let the RNG be a RNG not an RNG -10 on all rolls.

I have bad dice .. I'm a p'n'p player but not even my dice frack me that hard.

No

That's what randomness actually is; it's not evenly distributed. Out of thousand of players some will have lots of bad rolls. I've had some pretty satisfying rolls myself.

[Wraith]

Yep been having good rolls myself.
Sound like RNG being RNG and human bias is coming in once again.

Just look at Xcom and how people were like THEY RIG IT! but when the math got shown it was actually the other way around, they padded it in favor of the player lol

[RandoFingerBANG]

haha you don't know how statistics work apparently... if it aint 100% then you can miss. That's it, that's all. you get bad luck, i get good luck.

Man, These Dice threads are gonna be amusing as Steam users eventually give a coarse in Probability and stats

Games that fudge dice always to do it in the player's favor, so if you're getting a long string of bad luck that should be a sign the game isn't fudged. Maybe it should be. Actually I will probably write up a full suggestion on this. Larian is being amateurish by not fudging.

World of Warcraft's quest drops are random, but it gradually starts increasing the drop rate to make long strings of bad luck impossible. Darkest Dungeon gives you hidden +hit bonuses after missing an attack, to reduce strings of bad luck. I once heard casinos wanting to do the same thing with slot machines, but I don't know if it happened.

its actually statictically probable to roll multiple failures in a row, probability measures averages over a large amount of rolls, your dozens of rolls is a small sample size.

to make it simple: your falling for small sample size bias.

Rolled 2 20s in one round to violate that [spoilery spoilers] mage at the final fight on my rogue, other times you need a 4 and get a 1. ♥♥♥♥ happens.

What the thing lacks is a DM and any decent DM will fudge a roll on occasion for player enjoyment purposes (good or bad)

Pure randomness isn't always fun

You do get reroll chances and inspirations. Not sure how to get them but have had 1 so far to reroll. So at least theres those and im sure Cheat Engine users will impliment a table to give players unlimited inspirations.

Really its DND, its not suppose to be your way every time. Its suppose to be ♥♥♥♥♥, Like the Owlbear fight. I stole its egg and as it tried to hunt me down it killed itself by walking into a nat 20 crit.

As someone who has DM'd I can confirm this.

Usually you want to let the dice decide but on occasion if someone is rolling bad throughout a session you do fudge numbers or at least make some bad rolls not so bad. (after all failing can mean many things, from oh you missed to oh you missed so badly you tripped and impaled yourself)

Wrong! L2understand odds.
1st roll = 1/20 = 5%
2nd roll = 1/20 = 5%
100th roll = 1/20 = 5%

I mean it's low odds to roll 100 1s in a row but it's still possible...

[SinisterKieran]

so funny you say this because about 70% of my rolls are good, i rarely roll bad.

[Eekiki]

My only problem with the dice rolls is it uses the proficiency bonuses to lower the DC number, rather than keep that number the same and adding the bonuses to the rolls. This is backwards.
