[QUOTE="kbrakke, post: 6475898, member: 6781797"] I would argue that you don't get to see each roll on two grounds. First Lucky says "Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw" which is not whenever you roll a die. This means that you don't use lucky on a per die basis, it's a per check basis. Second advantage and disadvantage say "When that happens, you roll a second d20 when you make the roll". These together would tell me that the check with disadvantage is made by rolling 2d20, not 1d20 then 1d20, it's together. That combined with lucky being usable per check before or after the roll results in my interpretation. I do like the simplicity of Astrocisebear's response, jut remember that lucky is explicitly not advantage because that would combine with rogue sneak attacks and then also not work with advantage. Naturally as the dm if you want to do it another way that makes more sense to you, please do. This is just what the book says regarding advantage, disadvantage, and lucky. [/QUOTE]
