Level Up (A5E) Question Re: Doubleshot. Can you also attack on that turn?

Edit: So it turns out that the LU tools site is wrong, and that's what I was using. So nevermind.


Sorry if this has been asked before. Anyhoo, I'm making Yet Another character for fun (ah, the life of a Narrator...), using one of the new ranger archetypes from the newest GPG, and I decided to give them Double Shot. It reads:

The next ranged weapon attack you make uses two missiles instead of one. On a hit, you deal an additional weapon damage die.

Does this basically mean they can't attack on this turn, since their action is spent drawing and knocking the two arrow? (Level 3 character, if it matters.) Or was this supposed to read like some of the other maneuvers, which let you take an attack as part of the action used to activate the maneuver.

...doubleshot is a bonus action.

I checked my book, and you're right. However, when I was building the character, I was using the online tools, which says action.

So, thanks!

no problem - it does say an action on the online tools. that's...weird. and also makes it true strike tier, honestly.

Yeah, with the character I was working on, I could see them only using it as their first shot and combining it with some of those accuracy bonuses that rangers get, then saving the exertion for other things.
