[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 7423514, member: 67296"] no offense taken. The +5 equivalent only comes from the fact that at DC 11, advantage give you a 25% chance of failure, which is the equivalent of a DC 16 on a d20. Thus the +5 equivalence. the point I was trying to make in my post was that this +5 equivalence is only true around a target number of 11. The more you move away from that TN, the less of a +5 bonus equivalence it becomes. At TN 20, chances of failure become 0.9025 (lets say 90%), which is the equivalent of a +1 bonus (going from TN 20 to 19-20).
