So are you suggesting that the limit on bonus actions should be increased to 2? Honestly nothing "breaks", it just slows down the game. Even allowing the extra attack from two weapon fighting in addition to a bonus action slows down the game. It is just whether you think the extra time is worth...

Even though D&D is a fantasy game, it uses our own world as a starting point. In the real world men are stronger than women. Significantly so. This is a fact. So if we want to model human men and women in a fantasy game then on average men should be physically stronger than women there as well...

A matter of degree. Having 2 to 5 attacks plus a bonus action instead of 1 to 4 attacks plus a bonus action isn't the same as allowing 2 to 5 attacks plus 4 bonus actions (or whatever).

Actually I think there is a problem with using multiple bonus actions in a round. The main one being that, as a player, I don't want to sit around and wait for the guy with 8 different bonus actions to finish them all. But, yes, in addition to two weapon fighting, the extra attacks from Polearm...

1.) So you are talking about a Rogue/Monk multiclass. And I don't see a problem with them not stacking. Your Rogue/Monk can Shadow Step and hide just fine. He just has to use a Standard Action to hide. A standard Rogue can attack, disengage and move, but not hide. Why should your Rogue/Monk be...

Let's get this party started. Mindra pushes the door open (or pulls?), steps around the corner and shoots at the closest goblin. Initiative? :)

I think you will find the chance being lower than you think. But anyway, the point is that I disagree that in increases "drama". Although now that I think about it, it is a matter of opinion and personal preference anyway. So I guess it is fair to say it increases drama for him and others that...

Indeed. Thanks for the discussion! :)

I have seen people looking to see if they can squeeze more out of their action, and the problem is not the rules but the player. Them and the DM that allows it. I will politely wait for the first time, maybe saying "Unless you have an item I don't know about you don't get a bonus action" after a...

And I basically agree with all of this except the "Bonus Actions are a little clunky and unintuitive" part. There might be a more elegant design. I just haven't heard one yet.

So still no specific example then? Not intuitive and inelegant are not evidence. Those are opinions. They are perfectly valid opinions, but my opposing opinion is equally valid. I think (honestly) that Bonus Actions are an intuitive and elegant way to allow for a mix of actions in a single...
