Can I use action surge in the middle of another action (between attacks when attacking with extra attack)?

[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9259104, member: 23751"] If there was no "during the attack action," then you couldn't move in-between attacks. Movement is not a part of the attack action. The attack action only allows attacks. There must be "during the attack action" in order for you to be able to break up attacks before the action ends. This is not true. The action happens all at once unless specific beats general like the movement rules. A player can't half cast a spell, use a bonus action, and then complete the spell. Absent a reaction of some sort interrupting the action, the spell action happens all at once. That's also not true. The way the game works there is a general rule. The general rule is what is stated in the attack action. Then there are specific things that can break the rule. Moving in-between attacks for example. ONLY what is written that creates a specific exception is allowed by RAW. If it's not explicitly written, you cannot due it absent a DM house rule. Since there is nothing saying that an action can be interrupted by another action, it cannot by RAW be interrupted. That's how specific beats general works. That's how RAW works. The W=Written. Not written, not RAW. Had there been no Moving in-between attacks written exception, then you could not by RAW move in-between attacks. [/QUOTE]
