When you roll with {{Advantage}}, you roll two dice and use the '''higher''' result. Hou either have advantage or you don't: it doesn't stack to grant more than a second die, regardless of how many sources of advantages you have.
When you roll with {{Advantage}}, you perform the roll twice, and use the '''higher''' result. It doesn't stack beyond 2 dice, regardless of how many sources of advantages you have.  


Example: You roll two {{D20}} for an Attack Roll, the results are 16 and 4. Your effective result is 16.
Example: You roll two {{D20}} for an Attack Roll, the results are 16 and 4. Your effective result is 16.


'''On a D20, having advantage raises the average of your roll by 3.325 to 13.825''' (for the math, see below)
'''Having advantage raises the average of your roll by 3.325 to 13.825.''' (For the math, see below.)


{{Advantage}} and {{Disadvantage}} cancels each other, and having multiple sources doesn't change this either.  Even if you have three sources of Advantage, a single source of Disadvantage will cancel it.
Having both {{Advantage}} and {{Disadvantage}} means they cancel each other out, and hou roll one die. Because neithe advantage or disadvantage stack, having multiple sources of either doesn't change this: even if you have three sources of Advantage, a single source of Disadvantage will cancel it.
