Valador
First Post
So, my team is out here in Poland on mission in no man's land with limited internet access and nothing around this military post... so we decided to start up a D&D campaign. As I'm building my signature Paladin, I was looking at the Great Weapon Master feat and a question popped into my head...
Q:
Can the bonus action attack be taken after a move? i.e. I attack and kill or crit a critter, move, and then take my feat awarded bonus attack.
The flavor of the feat description would make it appear that the intent is to basically attack in one position, using the momentum of the first attack to carry over into another... However, all it really says is that if you meet the requirements, you are given a bonus attack. It says nothing about any sort of adjacent enemies, etc.
So, how would you guys interpret this?
I would probably be inclined to allow moving in between the attack and the bonus attack simply because RAW does not specify that it cannot be done.
