You won’t realize how OP disadvantage/advantage is until you see the dice, I’m playing Solasta and when I see my nature 20 became a nature 1 then I realize it’s a very strong buff/debut. And it shall not be granted so easy.
Hiding the dice is certainly the onlyh way they will ever sneak this shit past the average players head. D&D players already know how ridiculously strong Advantage is. If they showed people what was happening with the dice it would piss them off, and rightfully so, because Advantage was a niche effect that was given out only by certain conditions and class effects. Larian needs to tone back giving out these bonuses so easily.
another thing I noticed and the reason I came to this thread. Shopkeepers are frigin LOADED right from the start. no freaking wonder Larian feels the need to bump HP at the expense of AC.... players have a full set of +1 gear right when they hit the grove if they thieve for it (long rests reset inventory). Larian should reel that in... these are refugees, if their shopkeepers have that much gear, why are they having a problem with the garbage geared gobos? Every tiefling refugee could be decked out, I think the greedy merchants are the source of their problems.
