**Description**  
* Disables critical fails on skill checks and raw ability checks (like raw strength or dexterity checks - not Saving Throws) by setting the minimum roll as 2. This means you can't roll a 1 anymore, so no more crit fails on dialogues or lockpicking.
* The downside is, of course, the specific cases where a 2 is enough to pass a check but a 1 wouldn't be. So **"+3"** on a **"DC 5"** or **"+8"** on a **"DC 10"**. On those cases, you have a 5% chance of being unfairly benefited from the mod. However, given the biggest frustration tends to be on **"+15"** on **"DC 10"**, I think it's a fair tradeoff.
* Through testing, I've confirmed that the minimum roll is enforced after the roll, so this doesn't increase your probability of getting higher rolls. You still have a 5% chance of getting any value on dice rolls, but 1's will become 2.
* This also means that there's no interaction with **"Reroll"** features, like Halfling's Lucky. Mechanically speaking, the roll is made first, checks for a reroll possibility, returns the raw value of the dice, then it's set to the minimum specificed by the passive. So Halflings will still reroll their 1's in skill/ability checks, but if they roll a 1 again, it'll be increased to a 2.

  
**Compatibility*** If you're using [Zerd's Rules As Written](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1329)﻿, there's no need to use this mod, since RAW already has an option for this same feature (⚙️ ***"skillCheck\_critFail"***)
* The mod adds the minimum roll as a passive to all hero characters, overwriting the **"Passives"** attribute for both **"\_Hero"** and **"ORIGIN\_Karlach"** character stat entries.
* If you're using any other mod that overwrites those entries, make sure you use **Norbyte's**[BG3 Script Extender](https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se) (you can follow the installation guide [here](https://github.com/ZerdBG3/RAW/blob/main/Installing.md#requirements)﻿). By using the Script Extender and placing this mod before the conflicting one (or just first in the load order), you'll still get the passive.
* The Script Extender is not needed if there's no conflicting mods

  
**Alternative**  
* In case you want the opposite of this (always critically failing ability and skill checks) for whatever reason - like seeing dialogues you wouldn't usually see - you can use [this mod by ritzierwizard](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/8302).﻿﻿
