[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9007104, member: 7040132"] To clarify, Rogues get Cunning Action that allows them to use some Actions as Bonus Actions. They are limited in the types of actions. That is not weird. It would be weird if they could also cast a spell as a bonus action. That is not in their purview. Now some Rogue subclasses can do more stuff with Cunning Action (but not cast a spell as a bonus action). By the same reasoning, it is also weird for a Fighter to know how to cast a spell quickly with Action Surge. There is no narrative or functional reason for a baseline fighter to be able to do that.
