[QUOTE="VinylTap, post: 6128866, member: 6697217"] I'm not 100% up on this in the latest playtest, but no one else is chiming in. There's a few combat mechanics that will allow you to gain advantage. Including attacking someone who doesn't know you're there, and I believe attacking someone who is prone is also a situation that would trigger Advantage.
