Benifited Advantige?
Erm, in 5e advantage is like in every thing, so I have tried to use that word as it actually means something else to. The Copy-edit changed it to "benefit", it is a benefit but I was wondering if I shouldn't use "advantage"? Also thanks for the copy paste error Lhynard xD! I love how I remembered the "it" edits from the spells so I added the extra " ' "s but didn't see the other error xD! Terrorblades 's Far Realm logs dated 06:16, May 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * There isn't a problem with the word "advantage" itself in this article. I changed it more because of a subtle issue with the prepositions. You can see that I left the word in there in some cases. For example, originally, it said that the caster would gain an advantage to strength. One does not gain an advantage to something; one gains an advantage from something. In other words, the caster gains the advantage, not the strength. The strength gains an improvement or an increase. Saying, "The caster gained an advantage from improved strength," or, "The caster gained the advantage of improved strength," or, "Increased strength would be an advantage to the caster," would be ok.


 * Does that make sense? It's really just a subtle English-usage thing.


 * Feel free to change the phrase "gain benefits to using" to "gain an advantage from using". That would work just fine. ~ Lhynard (talk) 13:25, May 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for answering! Yeah it makes sense but I'll probably get it wrong a couple of times before I start getting it right :P! No I wont change it, its great the way it is :)! Terrorblades 's Far Realm logs dated  20:54, May 6, 2015 (UTC)
