Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General How Does The Dice Rolling Work?

It makes sense to me - it shows what you need to roll to pass, rather then actual numerical difficulty. I think it is th more important and enjoyable information. I think that if we have actual DC rolling would be less impactful with post roll modification.

All it does - it calculated the roll beforehand and says: "Yo, you need to roll "X" to succeed".

Turn based system in Pathfinder does something similar - while it is not the most informative, I think it is the most immediately useful presentation - you need to roll "X" to hit, where is "DC is "X" adds additional steps like "what is my "Y" modifier" and "so what do I need to roll and what are my chances?".
