So this combination just occurred to me and I'm curious what people think:
Step 1: Be any class with the Extra Attack feature
Step 2: Spot two likely souls who are hostile to you and adjacent to each other - henceforth we'll call them Bob and Sue
Step 3: Approach them forthrightly, dropping or stowing your weapons as you do to get both hands free
Step 4: Take the Attack action. You now have either two or three weapon attacks.
Step 5: Substitute your first attack for a grapple attempt against Bob
Step 6: Substitute your second attack for a grapple attempt against Sue. You only need a single free hand, so this is doable.
If all has gone well, you have successfully grappled two adjacent enemies. You have used all of your attacks... but you do still have a bonus action. And you have something in each of your hands.
I'm pretty sure that, if one of my players said "I use my Bonus Action granted by Two Weapon Fighting to try to bash their heads together" I'd definitely allow them to try at least - probably with disadvantage (unless they had the Tavern Brawler feat, for proficiency with improvised weapons).
What do you think?
