[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7564912, member: 22779"] [MENTION=6799649]Arial Black[/MENTION] - I agree, that the rules delineate what you can do. However, nothing in the rules says that you can divide up an Attack Action with anything other than movement, and then only if you have multiple attacks. If you have a single attack, obviously you cannot divide up the Attack Action at all. The only exception seems to be when you gain multiple attacks and you want to move. If you were correct and you could drop a bonus action into the middle of an Attack Action, why wouldn't they have called this out, the way they called out movement? I mean, the movement rules are pretty clear - it's called out in a completely separate paragraph that if you have multiple attacks, you can move between attacks. If the intent was to allow bonus actions the same latitude, wouldn't it be called out the same way? Since it isn't called out and in fact the only thing about timing that is called out is that you can do it during your turn or at the time specified by the bonus action, why would you presume that you could bonus action during an attack action?
