[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8147056, member: 6987520"] Simple: allow sources of advantage to stack. We do. We have no limit to the number of d20s you can roll if you have additional sources of advantage (or disadvantage). We treat them as +/- d20s, so three sources of advantage and one source of disadvantage nets two sources of advantage, or 3d20's rolled. Because additional d20s has decreasing returns per additional die, there comes a point, where although it is always better mechanically, it just isn't worth the trouble to gain [I]yet another[/I] source of advantage. IMO, unfortunately, no, but for a reason other than you might think: Your idea increases the ceiling (and floor) for the roll by up to 6, advantage as it is in 5E doesn't increase the ceiling (or floor). Assuming no other modifiers, I can have 100 sources of stackable advantage in 5E and because I am [I]only[/I] rolling d20s, I can get higher than a 20. With your idea, after enough sources of stackable advantage and the +6 modifier boosts the minimum result to 7 and the maximum to 26. Personally, numbers can already get too high IMO so this is not a feature I would want. If you want your floor/ceiling for the total result raised, I think the principle works fine, but as I said that wouldn't be a design goal for me. Nothing wrong with it at all, just not to my taste.
