[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9434518, member: 7030563"] Hexblade only applied to one weapon, which was a substantial limitation in play. The new POB applies to all weapons. The extra attack from a Monk is an entire other attack. Does 1d6 +strength or dex and can be used without even using the attack action. I am not complaining. I think this is awesome. Ok it is not a complaint, I love it. A dip before required more levels to get really good things except for Cleric dips that could get heavy Armor at level 1. There was nothing the equivalent of weapon masteries or martial arts on a 1-level dip. You can get [B]BOTH[/B] of those at level 2 now. You get the benefits of two-weapon fighting with a hand axe and short sword [U]AND[/U] you get the benefits of martial arts because they do not compete for your bonus action. You get the other mastery on top of all that. Using the Monk as an example - I can play a single class Monk and get one attack action with a light martial weapon and then get one martial arts attack as a bonus action. Now with a 1-level Fighter dip and mastery I can get one attack action and a mastery on the hit for whatever the hand axe is[B] and one light attack with the short sword[/B] as part of that action [B]and a martial arts bonus action attack [/B] Getting a martial arts attack in addition to a nick attack is a power up for those martial classes. Getting a nick attack in addition to a martial arts attack is a power up for a Monk. [/QUOTE]
