[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 6857691, member: 6788652"] Couple of things: 1. Extra Attack doesn't break anything, you can take one Action. If you take the Attack Action, you may make as many individual Attacks within that Action as your class/race/feats allow. Most classes can use the Attack Action to make one Attack; certain classes (eg Fighter) are so skilled they can make multiple Attacks within the time taken to perform the Attack Action. 2. I may be mistaken in my analysis of your maths (it's not immediately clear and broken down for a bear of little brain such as myself). Please do explain how you get to roll a total of 8d6 for taking "up to four attacks" plus one Bonus Action (offhand) Attack - surely that is a total of 5d6 only? The Extra Attack class feature states that "you can attack twice, instead of once, [B]whenever you take the Attack Action on your turn[/B]." A Bonus Action is not a full Action. You don't get the full number of Attacks you could take using the Attack Action when you use a Bonus Action. a Bonus Action only allows one additional Attack.
