For example when talking about passive perception it says you "subtract 5 for disadvantage", now I think it would be crazy to say that this -5 is a "penalty", don't you? | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 16:11 | comment | added | Ryan C. Thompson | Why do you think that a number you subtract is different from a penalty? As far as I know, bonus, penalty, and modifier are not specifically defined game terms in 5e. Bonus and penalty are used, respectively, for modifiers that are strictly positive or negative, and modifier is only ever used to mean a number that is added or subtracted from another number (usually but not always a die roll). | |
