Does Portent replace advantage?

Portent does not interact with advantage/disadvantage because it replaces an entire roll.

Does Portent override legendary resistance?

Yes.

Lucky allows you to choose which of two dice to use as the roll. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw… You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.

Can you use portent on enemies?

What is portent DND?

Basically: the Portent die is the one that gets used without regard for what was actually rolled. This means it overrides advantage, disadvantage, Luck feat, Elven Accuracy feat, and similar effects.

Can a Portent be good?

A portent is an omen of something momentous, which can be good, but is more often negative. You can use portent to mean a magical foretelling or symbol, but you can also use it to talk about something real, the way you could describe big, dark storm clouds as a portent of a thunderstorm.

Yes you can, initiative is an ability check and thus can be rerolled on a 1. If you’re a halfling / druid using a shapeshift and take 1 on D20, you’re under the same rule Or not?

How does the divination Wizard’s portent feature work?

The description of Portent is quite foggy. The first sentence suggests that it allows to replace the final result (d20 + modifiers); however, the second part of the description mentions the roll, without specifying if it just refers to the d20 roll or to d20 + modifiers.

What are the rules for the divination Wizard game?

The persuasion rolled was helpped even more by the DMs house rule that inspiration added 5 to the dice roll. 20+7 +5 = 32 on the persuasion roll. That was only enough to get him interested. We did need some good rolls after that and the use of the other portant.

How are the modifiers applied to the portent die?

The modifiers are applied to the foretold roll as normal. This interpretation is reinforced by an unofficial tweet from March 2015 by rules designer Jeremy Crawford: The portent die is intended to replace a d20 roll only, not any modifiers applied to it.

What does portent do on a saving throw?

Portent makes you replace only the d20 roll, not the final outcome. The description of ability checks in the rules says (PHB, p. 174): To make an ability check, roll a d20 and add the relevant ability modifier. The descriptions of saving throws and attack rolls have the same phrasing.
