[QUOTE="Chocolategravy, post: 6372093, member: 6778085"] It is completely unnecessary to add the bonus action portion unless it is granting an extra bonus action. Whether it is badly written by adding something that is unnecessary and confusing, or it is badly written because it put the extra bonus action in the wrong portion of the sentence, we can agree it is badly written. As adding something completely irrelevant to a sentence is a much less frequent mistake than putting it in the wrong place in a sentence I'm inclined to think the intent is you get an additional bonus action. Either way, I'm sick of hearing 4E marketing catchphrases like action economy. Something that was just unspoken common sense previous to them breaking it with things like infinite turns from White Raven Tactics or a Factotum's ability to take several turns in a row in their disguised 4E playtest. It really was just a way to make people feel good about rolling 1 big attack/round in 4E rather than several smaller ones like 3E. Nothing at all to do with actual action economy, but a lot to do with time saving. [/QUOTE]
