Assume you need to roll an 11 to succeed. With a straight d20, you have a 50% chance of success. With advantage, this goes up to 75%. That’s the equivalent of a +5 bonus to the roll, since you would also have a 75% chance of success if you only needed a 6 or better on a single d20.
Does Nat 20 beat disadvantage?
If you have disadvantage on a roll and you roll a natural 20, does the automatic hit cancel out the disadvantage? My DM ruled yes. The inverse also happend a natural 1 on an advantage roll.
Does Nat 20 ignore disadvantage?
You have to take the lowest roll when you have disadvantage (as mentioned by DaFluid). So you have a critical hit only if you roll two 20, which is rather unlikely, obviously. Note that there are some classes and feats that give you the possibility to get a 19 or a 20 and have a critical hit.
Can you attack while flying 5e?
A flying creature can swoop, attack, and fly away, though doing so would trigger an attack of opportunity. The big advantages of flying are that you can retreat without the ground characters chasing you (only ranged attackers can hit you) and you can grapple characters, lift them up, and drop them.
Does height matter in DND?
Whether being 2 steps higher on a staircase is enough to gain Advantage or being on top of a tall table inconveniences you (as you cannot use your usual fighting stances etc) all depend heavily on the particular situation. 5e leaves it in the hands of the DM in those cases.

Do ranged attacks get advantage 5e?
