There is one good thing about Karmic Dice and that is that it can be disabled.
Karmic dice is an obviously stupid idea and should always be disabled, yet it is enabled by default.
I have not seen such a feature in other games, though the number of D&D games I've played is far from complete, so maybe somebody else has this, too.
Yes! City of Heroes has "Streakbreaker", but it is also a D20 system. From the descriptions people made above about "Karmic Dice", it sounds like they lifted the same rule for both.
