[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7522616, member: 6919838"] lord save me from folks who misunderstand %. it depends on what you want to talk about % of. If you have 1$ and i give you 1$ i have given you 100% more money - YAY if you have 500$ and i give you 100$ i have given you 20% more money. Which would you rather take, the 100% deal or the 20% deal? If you need an 11+ to hit and you get disadvantage you will now miss 5 more times in 20. if you need a 20+ to hit and you get disadvantage you will now miss 19 more times in 400 or .95 more times in 20 (roughly) What matters in the long run for both the money examples is how much you gain or lose in actual dollars or actual hits and misses - not the % increase from where you started. Nobody at the store is gonna turn away your 100$ because you started at 500 and neither are any of those 5 extra misses gonna count as hits because you started at 11+. But hey, dont listen to me, dont go figure that out yourself, dont go roll a bunch of dice and track the results and dont by any means go learn math instead of parroting info from the net... cuz your math prowess wont ever be a problem for me. EDIT to add - to further add to the folly here - if i am needing a 20+ to hit, i am g=better served to not try and get advantage on that roll. instead i should be looking for another action with better odds of success - like maybe switching to a grapple or shove prone or even just HELP to give someone with better chances advantage.
