Just at a cursory glance, I didn't see anything unexpected.

200 Rolls
8 - Nat 20s
8 - Nat 1s
Assuming they did hit on a Nat 20 (otherwise your game is bugged, and thus the data is possibly unreliable) that's good to know, thanks!

Combining your 200 data points with the 150 high-AC data points from OP, it seems like there isn't an excess of Nat 20s against high-AC characters using non-Karmic dice. 350 data points still isn't great for a d20, but it's probably good enough.

Edit: just saw your post. Hmmm, you might want to report that as a Bug?? A Nat 20 should be a critical hit, regardless of AC.
I'll definitely do some more investigating.

I did an even quicker Non-Karmic test this morning against an enemy who could hit an AC 26 - the Ogress Grunkkoh in the Blighted Village.

After you kill Buthir, she gets a Rage boost, and I was getting smacked down pretty hard.

30 Attks
4 - Nat 20s
4 - 19s
2 - 18s

Obviously, a meager 30 data points aren't going to tell us anything, but it may be worth pursuing data on this to see if the numbers are skewing for higher-level/story-relevant NPCs, even with Non-Karmic dice.
