Unfortunately no, maybe we can put a hint towards Larian, to make the
dice rolls removable visually and yes it is annoying a simple indication
would suffice. I guess Wizards of the Coast insisted on that. The 20
sided dices are the bread and butter marker for AD&D they introduced them!

It also shows the DC, which I should *not* know.

I don't own the game so I googled it. Try clicking on the dice and see
if that does what you want.

Apparently, there used to be an option to just hit the space bar to
skip the animation but it was removed. You can try that too just in
case it works.

Sorry, I'm not say it's five people locked in someone's bedroom but
instead the current size is kinda large (I think I read it was more like
50-100 when they started) and that the actual dev. team is quite a bit
smaller than that.

Oof. Both of those sound like they would get annoying pretty fast.

Ok thanks to the hint that you just have to press space bar.
I now pressed A on my deck when the animation started and got the result
instantly displayed. This is definitely an improvement!
