So I originally believed multiattack in the Monster Manual could be used in the same way as extra attacks in the PHB... in other words you could give one up to grapple, shove, etc. However Mike Mearls has actually stated that multiattack is not in fact a subset of the attack action and thus is it's own thing and only allows the specified attacks under the ability to be used...
I'm curious if I was the only one using multiattack in that way? I'm also interested in hearing others opinions on whether they agree or disagree with Mearls and why. Personally I think I'm going to stick with my own interpretation since I'm having a hard time seeing the why (from a gameplay, drama and sim perspective) of Mearls take on it... but I'd still like to hear other takes on the why's as well...
