(Fighter, whispering urgently from the bushes:) “Pointy end forward!”

My name is Omaex Ozustrum of Erridor. You killed my father, prepare to die

The “Help” action is so lackluster in D&D 5. I appreciate that it exists that IS certainly a step up. But you do nothing with your turn (not very exciting), and your friend has Advantage, which helps, but if I had a nickel for every time I failed a roll with Advantage, I could probably buy a new copy of the PHB.

(Only a small part of why my game of choice is something completely different.)
