| Oct 10, 2020 at 19:35 | comment | added | findusl | Your interpretation of the rules leads to this logic "portent replaces the result of Step 3 above" (shortened). Because that is what is meant by an attack roll etc. However then you state that modifiers are applied as normally without any reasoning, just so you are in line of the (not official) ruling of crawford. Could you add some reasoning to that step or consider removing it as it is part of this separate question. Otherwise this answer gives an unexplained answer rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/176302/… | |
| Oct 9, 2020 at 18:01 | comment | added | Ifusaso 'he-him' | @V2Blast I actually disagree. If this interpretation is correct (and the community generally believes it is), then Portent is still not replacing a d20 but the entire check. No dice are rolled, you replace the check itself with a result. This also fits the context of the ability, where the Diviner "knows" the end result. Applying (dis)advantage using the foretelling as a single die does not accomplish this flavor. | |
| Oct 3, 2020 at 21:35 | comment | added | V2Blast | Your answer seems to leave out the relevant part of the advantage/disadvantage rule, specifically the 2 preceding sentences. The 2018 PHB errata changed both mentions of "reroll" there to "reroll or replace": "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." Since Portent says it replaces the roll, it clearly now falls under that rule. You may want to update your answer accordingly. | |
