Karmic Dice will give you better skill checks on the whole, but really isn't worth it due to it's effect on attack rolls and AC.
If you are running a build with an AC of 20+, particularly some of the stronger ones, you don't want to run Karmic dice as it can be a +40% - +85% increase in enemy hit rate. If your build requires a crit in order to be hit this can significantly increase incoming damage as it will effectively turn every other to every third attack into a crit.
Exactly. It seems like it mostly benefits checks that are closer to 50%, artificially giving more variance to prevent streaks. But if you have Astarion picking a DC 10 lock with +19 modifiers, I really don't want the game to muck with my 95% chance to succeed. I mean, I do have 55 picks but that's not the point.
