[QUOTE="Lycurgon, post: 8819579, member: 7025583"] The other silly instance of this I have heard of is using darkness or Fog Cloud to negate the disadvantage from long range. The enemy is too far away to hit easily, no problem, make yourself better at targeting these distance foes by covering yourself in darkness. Arrows fly better it you are shrouded in darkness. It is complete nonsense. Originally I was considering a houserule that it is DMs decision on which instances of Advantage and Disadvantage counter each other out and which don't because I don't want these sort of nonsense situations happening in my games. But I think all that the houserule needs is that you only get the Unseen Attack advantage if you can see the target you are attacking. I think that solves all of the issues I have, but I am not sure there might be other instances that I haven't though of yet. And I have absolutely happy for 2 blind attackers having disadvantage against each other and the fights taking longer because of it.
