Helpful "Stronger Advantage/Disadvantage" Table[edit]

Dunno if this will be useful to anyone trying to understand this, but it helped me visualize this particular part of the variant rule a little better, and explain it a little better in a material of mine, so perhaps this addition will help someone else too. While I sincerely doubt anyone will ever get more anything in more than Double strength, I wrote the table out to 10 instances of each, to illustrate the scaling under Stronger Advantage/Disadvantage.



"If, after Advantage and Disadvantage are done canceling each other out, you still have three or more instances of Advantage (Or Disadvantage), you may roll an additional d20 for every 3 instances of Advantage (Or Disadvantage) affecting the roll. You still only take the single highest (Or lowest) result, depending on whether the remaining instances were of Advantage or Disadvantage. For each additional d20 rolled, you add one multiple to the Advantage (Or Disadvantage) - Thus, rolling 3d20 and taking the highest of the three dice would be Double Advantage (OR Double Disadvantage if you would be forced to take the lowest roll), 4d20 would be Triple Advantage, and so on."
