[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9258797, member: 6877472"] A reaction interrupts the normal flow of actions because it resolves instantly, by the rules. This isn't really proof of anything beyond that- an action can't interrupt a reaction because only a reaction can interrupt a reaction. Like if I move and provoke an OA, no, I can't continue to move, or Dodge as a bonus action, but I could cast Shield to potentially negate the OA. This doesn't prove that an action can't interrupt another action in progress, because the only person who can take actions on your turn is you, there's no opportunity for anyone else to take an action, only reactions. At this point, I'm actually convinced that the Extra Attack feature is, itself, not an action. It's something you can simply do as long as you take the Attack Action. 2024's Nick Weapon Mastery will apparently function in this way, for example. [/QUOTE]
