I had Karmic Dice off for "the TT experience" roughly 1200 rolls from each side and my findings were the "player rolls" were averaging around 7.4 and enemy rolls are averaging 10.9. So get used to hitting the F5 button before your good attacks and then the F8 button when you inevitably miss it with a stupidly low roll.

Footnote: these averages are the best I could get being when you have advantage or disadvantage it only tells you the die roll that is used. In my play through I had advantage far more than disadvantage so that 7.4 should technically be lower, but being disadvantage take the lower of 2 rolls and I can't see what the higher roll was to properly calculate the averages, I'm going to say they cancel each other out.
I'm guessing you're playing on Tactician?

Which means every enemy roll got +2.

I mean, it's pretty normal for enemies to have advantageous roll, IF the roll indeed loaded, which they're not, it literally needs one person to do the same thing you did and have different result for you to be wrong.

Look, I'm not saying you're wrong, because your dice rolling experience has been bad. I'm saying your method might not exactly correct to convey the thing you want to confirm.

If you roll a nat 1, once and nat 20 twice, your average is around 13,x. If reversed (twice nat 1, a single nat 20), it's 7,x. It doesn't prove anything other than averages are varies depending on the number.

This thread will not be the last nor the first of the similar complain. Pretty sure at least hundreds of thread in any game with D20 roll system revolves around the rolls are rigged.
