At this point my hope for height advantage/disadvantage is that they make it modable.
It's interesting that you focus on that aspect when height advantage is a rules as written implementation of advantage.
Pg. 173 of the Player's Handbook:
Quote
You usually gain advantage or disadvantage through the use of special abilities, actions, or spells. Inspiration (see chapter 4) can also give a character advantage on checks related to the character's personality, ideals, or bonds. The DM can also decide that circumstances influence a roll in one direction or the other and grant advantage or impose disadvantage as a result.
Our DM, Larian, has chosen to grant advantage for positioning, per the rules.
I'm not sure why you make this comment. If they make it modable then we never have to discuss this again. Or are you hoping that we all have to play it the same way?
