How it's calculated

On a d20 you succeed when the roll plus your modifier meets the DC — a natural roll of (DC − modifier) or higher — giving p = successful faces ÷ 20. Advantage (roll twice, keep the higher) = 1 − (1 − p)²; disadvantage (keep the lower) = p². Natural 1 and 20 auto-rules aren't applied.
