[QUOTE="Fizbang, post: 9593461, member: 7051094"] To that I would say you can search "you can also" in PHB pdf and the only example I can find where there is a discrepancy about whether you can do both is the primal beast companion rule out of 50 examples. I see what you are saying grammatically but this is a rule and no where does it say at such and such level a wizard can cast 1 spell and you can also cast another as a rule. And I also appreciate that the wording is unclear and the word command makes it even less clear. I wish it said command it to take an action like it does for bonus action for sacrificing the attack, that would make it more clear. Or oppositely said take the strike action as a reaction. The Beast in Combat ln combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and use its Reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action unless you take a Bonus Action to command it to take an action in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Beast's Strike action.
