[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6593545, member: 54629"] This is precisely why the advantage/disadvantage mechanic exists. Absolutely. If you don't want the PCs to have access to lots of magic, limit what subclasses the PCs can take. Otherwise, you can say the world is low magic in general but the party happens to be an exception to that, as it is a group of rare individuals who have come together to pool their rare magical talents. Either way works. Not at all. In fact, it can make those moments even more epic. One of the other players in one of my groups rolled a natural 20 on an attack roll. Then someone reminded him he had disadvantage. So he rolled again ... and got another natural 20! Also, I think you're reading too much into the mechanic. "Being disadvantaged" does not automatically impose disadvantage on a roll. There are specific things in the game that trigger advantage or disadvantage, and the DM can also apply them as s/he sees fit. [/QUOTE]
