So, the picture you posted actually illustrates my point exactly, though that wasn't your intention.

In the picture you have three factors in play on your attack. One of them is High Ground, granting Advantage. One of them is Long Rang, imposing Disadvantage.

You also have Advantage on the attack from another factor. What is that other factor?

I need to know, you see, because I'd really like to actually have advantage on my roll, rather than a flat neutral roll... so I imagine I can move somewhere that will eliminate the long range disadvantage. It will also cost me my height advantage... but I have something else granting me advantage as well. What is it? If I move to the new position, will I lose that other source of advantage, or keep it? Where is it coming from? I don't know; the information is not supplied. This is quite a common failure: As I said it Often does not tell you the source. It often does tell you, as well, but it should Always be clear on the source, not just 'in some cases'.


I do wish the combat log itself was more robust. Games that are over a decade old have better comabt logs than BG3 currently does...
