Advantage Icon.png Advantage and Disadvantage Icon.png Disadvantage are a gameplay mechanic that can greatly affect the success of dice rolls. They can apply to Attack Rolls, Saving Throws, and Ability Checks, but not to Damage Rolls.

Advantage

When you roll with Advantage Icon.png Advantage, you perform the roll twice, and use the higher result. It doesn't stack beyond 2 dices, regardless of how many sources of advantages you have.

Example: You roll two D20.png d20 for an Attack Roll, the results are 16 and 4. Your effective result is 16.

Even if you have three sources of Advantage, a single source of Disadvantage will cancel it. [Needs confirmation, because it is the same text like in Disadvantage Icon.png Disadvantage]
