If this is the case bless an the other spell will have more value than you say since the percent is not 100% accurate.


Statistical modeling is where understanding the effectiveness of Advantage/Disadvantage comes from.

https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2014/07/12/dnd-5e-advantage-disadvantage-probability/

The chances of rolling a 10 or greater on a D20 are 55%. Every single number has a 5% chance to come up with a single roll.
If you have disadvantage, where you roll two d20 and take the lower, the chances of rolling a 10 or greater drop to 30.3%
If you have advantage, the chances of rolling a 10 or greater increases to 79.8%.

If anything, the OP's use of 10% increase for advantage is understating things.


Thanks Stabbey. I love to use the “dumb” math philosophy in DnD to simplify it.

Every +2 = 10%
Advantage as +4 = +20%.

Then why is it advantage bad for spell effectiveness if it’s an absolute increase of +20%? Because the impact of increasing 10% when you have 55% to hit is greater than a +10% over 75% basis smile it was explained in the main thread but here it goes again.

I’ve used bless average as a 2 but in fact is 2,5. That was done to simplify the calculation. Would that be a 2,5 the impact would be even greater.
