[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7231672, member: 284"] Yes, that is correct. This is also true. (On one of my previous posts I think I said a PC would be able to cast a reaction cantrip if one existed, but I was incorrect.) Sure. You would not be able to kill/crit a creature as a reaction, and then take a bonus action attack on your next turn. The kill/crit to generate the bonus action attack has to take place on your turn. Sure. Because the GWM feat doesn't care how you kill/crit something (i.e. using an action or a reaction) - only that it takes place on your turn. (Plus, you still have to have a bonus action available in order to make the extra attack.) Depends on what the reaction is. An Opportunity Attack reaction specifically limits you to a single attack, so the fighter wouldn't get three attacks. If there was a theoretical ability that allowed you to take an Attack Action as a reaction (or even as a bonus action), then the fighter would be able to make all three attacks. But currently no such ability exists - even Haste limits you to a single attack on the extra action it grants. [/QUOTE]
