The thread that made me think about the technical/numerical value of Advantage was essentially about High-Ground. I just wanted to make Advantage separate.
So essentially: Free Advantage based on nothing more than positioning is a massive advantage on par or better than the most powerful magical weapons in the setting?
Yes, and this is also true of Advantage gained from any resource-costing ability or spell, of course.
It says in the PHB that if you get advantage on passive abilities it equates to a +5 bonus, which is in line with what Drath says.
Damn it ! I like the Passive Checks rule and I forgot about that.
