If a diviner wizard uses Portent to replace an attack roll with advantage, is another die rolled and the higher taken?

    • I’m not quite sure what you’re saying.

      Here’s what happens:

      Creature rolls with advantage and gets a 17 & a 20. 20 becomes the result.
      Diviner replaces the 20 with their portEnt (not portAnt).

          You must choose to use it before you see the roll, yes. But it replaces the result of the roll, whether that roll is one dice or advantage/disadvantage. Whatever results is replaced by the portent die.

    OK. I have a diviner wizard who has figured out what I consider a “glitch”. They’re facing a big baddie. (Last night it was a Chain Devil.) He casts Command, commands the Chain Devil to “grovel”, and says “I’m using my Portent 1 I rolled this morning, so he AUTOMATICALLY fails.” Suddenly, I have a Challenge 8 critter (3900 XP!) lay down so everybody can take a prone shot at it!?!?! Am I misinterpreting this rule? (I hope.)
