wow my dice are unlucky

[torquemadaza]

Laura Bailey would put them all in a dice jail.
Miss. MIss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Sneak with rogue and attack from hidden position. Miss. Huge 4d6 guiding bolt spell. Miss. And then if I do hit. 1 damage on my arrow. 2 damage on my sword. wow. miss. 3 goblins absoluetly wreck my 3rd level party with starts combat with surprise. they know that i'm supposed to be rolling a d8 or a d6... and add modifiers right?

Of course the enemy hit hit hit hit hit CRIT hit hit... go out of their way to take out the escort mission NPC who has 10 hp and they bite and they bite and do 9 damage. I wish I could see 9 damage. These goblins are epic tier. :P

seriously though. there are no % in d&d. give me AC. give me to hit and damage numbers. clearly show me the dice rolls and maths. dont black box the dice... cos then i begin to think the game is cheating. in fact... i wouldn't mind the option of real 3d physics dice (like one gets on VTTs these days) to roll on the screen.

edit: battle log does show dice maths on hover, but this is super buried.

so i'm not alone. the dice is rigged!

[snaptogrid]

yes back street in an ally rigged

I'm so tired of it. I just tried to do a dialogue challenge that was a 10, for some characters it was as low as a 7. That should be at least a 50% chance to succeed. I just had all four characters tried, reloaded, took two more tries.
I tried to just play through a bit of the druid grove, but it felt like I couldn't do a damn thing I wanted to conversation wise and just rage quit for the night.

LOL yeah I feel you, missed a 91% chance to hit other 3 chars with 80%+ also miss, then bam one of my guys get one shotted. Got to love dice rolls. It does happen though, sucks but does happen. Xcom and Blood Bowl made me want to smash my keyboard so many times.

As smart as you play a few bad rolls in a row, end up losing your best guys.

[NothingSuS]

Yeah I am playing a dex based character getting a 1 on damage is impossible 1+dex is this dnd or another divinity game

[Razzamatronic]

the numbers do seem weighted against the player, 12+ HP goblins? Excuse me? And I can see getting 1 dmg on a cantrip because it doesn't have any ability modifiers like a weapon would but 1 dmg on a mace with a character that has +2 STR? no, not how it works game.

This is a Larian game. You aren't supposed to actually attack.

It's overpowered NPC's vs player exploits. Use a barrel or some other retarded environmental gimmick. Jump 30 meters and shove the goblin off a cliff.

[Ozius]

It can be harsh but you are far more likely to remember the unlucky rolls and not the lucky ones making it seems worse than it really is, human nature.

[Edstyles]

Not at all.

No barrelmancy needed. Just understanding the game. Game is way easy. Tho I think hidden is slightly buged towards sneak attack or hitting in general .

This game should be renamed.

Save-Scummers Gate 3.

I basically find if the attack chance isn't 90% or more its a waste of time attacking.

My Uni mates allows remind me of the time I was playing Baldur's gate 1 and in my friends words he'd never heard so much swearing out of one mans mouth.

Beep beep beep Minsc has beep beep beep missed beeep 12 times in a beep beep row

I was usually the claim one of my uni halls, DnD at low levels is usually around 65% chance to hit, does not take much bad luck of you to rack up the misses.
