[QUOTE="Zander, post: 6548270, member: 1364"] It won't make nearly as much difference at higher levels as it does at lower levels because: [LIST=1] [*]At higher levels, monsters will be wise to it and deal with it right away or get their minions to do it. An ogre probably won't know that the wizard with an owl on his shoulder is likely to pause a moment so the two can act together, but a 700-year-old red dragon or centuries old vampire has a good chance of having seen this before and know how to deal with it. [*]Higher level spells are mostly saves, not attack rolls. And the few that are attack rolls such as Mordenkainen's Sword, aren't very powerful. [*]PC attack modifiers increase faster with level (when you include magic item bonuses etc) than the AC of monsters do with CR. So at higher levels, the benefit of advantage is less than it is at low levels. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
