| Jul 23 at 15:53 | comment | added | Kirt | @enkryptor It's a ruling when the DM is making a decision based solely on "circumstances" that the rules don't address. It's a rule (in this case, an optional rule) when the rules text defines that the particular circumstance has a particular effect. Under your definition, any assignment of advantage or disadvantage, including every one listed in Conditions, is a ruling not a rule. | |

The PHB says "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". So granting (dis)advantage is a ruling, not a rule. | |
