That said, it's an insane outcome (makes Silvery Barbs completely useless when the original roll had advantage), and there are other ways to resolve the ambiguities that don't get this result, so I'd never use it in a game unless my goal was to nerf Silvery Barbs. | |

Chooser of the reroll is not actually ambiguous

| Dec 9, 2021 at 22:52 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | I’ve downvoted because the rules are entirely unambiguous about who chooses which die to reroll: “When you have advantage or disadvantage and something in the game, such as the halfling's Lucky trait, lets you reroll or replace the d20, you can reroll or replace only one of the dice. You choose which one.” You, that is, the person doing the rolling, gets to choose. | |
