"Question: Sorcerer Origin Feature (Tide of Chaos): You can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again. Any time before you regain the use of this feature, the DM can have you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher. You then regain the use of this feature.
This looks like it is self only. But it uses no exclusionary language. So I was just wondering. Can it be used to give others advantage?"
My first thought was that would overlap the 6th level Bend Luck ability, but I was curious what others think.
The language used mentions "gain" (and the subject in that sentence is "you"). Not "give" or "grant".
Compare, for example, with Portent, the 2nd level trait of School of Divination for Wizards. Or, with perhaps more relevant wording, the level 6 trait of Nature Domain for Clerics, "Dampen Elements".
Similarly, "Bend Luck" can only be used on another creature, not yourself.
