[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6621682, member: 5834"] Are you still going to let them move and attack multiple creatures? And will you still allow them Bonus Action and Reaction Attacks? Some classes rely on multiple attacks like the monk and fighter. Did you spend time thinking about the following: 1. The Fighter is the only class that ever gets more than two attacks from the Extra Attack Feature. The class's balance is built around him doing it. He doesn't get a fourth attack until twenty. 2. The other classes get two attacks at level 5. After that nothing unless Bonus Action or Reaction attacks. 3. Monks flurry of blows with Open Hand fighting is pretty important. To maximize the ability, he generally needs to be able to move to hit multiple targets. You really have your work cut out for you trying to remove multiple attacks and balance it across all classes. What about the paladin smite? He gets it per attack. You'll hurt his damage if he only gets to do it once. You've taken on a real headache because of the number of abilities that work off the extra attack mechanic. It's much bigger headache for nearly no payoff in terms of making the game faster. You might even slow it down as people try to understand how their other abilities work with a strange system for doing damage for multiple attacks. [/QUOTE]
