And its easy to roll and apply after, but with a +2 you need to remember what you had rolled.I still play Pathfinder and it can get crazy with bonuses. Flanking, bless, prone enemy, higher ground, cover, aid, dazzled, etc. I was forever asking people if they remembered bard song and buff table tents were common. Paizo even sells a deck of Buff cards.I considered allowing stacking advantage but then realised it would end up being "I have advantage for X, Y, and Z but disadvantaged for A and B. So I roll twice... Oh, but I forgot flanking." That and the math breaks down because of the bell curve, so chances of not rolling a 8-13 are low.That said I plan on a few advantage house rules:First, I'll still have the occassional +2 bonus. It still works. Second, other times I might allow double proficiency if skill and training matters. (This is a really good library, so you can maximise your History check.)Third, Inspiration either grants advantage or a reroll. I want that to be desirable.Fourth, the Help action will either grant advantage or a +2 bonus. Either or, chosen by persons helping. Two people assisting let's you be better (its odd that having two people or eight people trying to bash down a door or build a barn is identical).</blockquote>
