D&D 5E Question about Enhance Ability

[Zakarov]

The spell Enhance Ability bull strength, gives advantage in attacks that use strength? Thanks for reply!

 

[3SpdDragster]

No, it doesn't.

It would be nice though, wouldn't it.

 

[Zakarov]

But why? on page 175 and 176 which talks about strength checks also talks about attack and damage.

 

[3SpdDragster]

Chapter 7: Using Ability Scores in the PHB clearly differentiates between attack rolls and ability checks under both Strength and Dexterity. Same with saving throws, so no.

 

[PnPgamer]

On a consolation: it helps on shove and grapple maneuvers presented in PHB.
