[QUOTE="WarpedAcorn, post: 6988925, member: 6819400"] Yeah...its either a mistake or a homerule. Per the "Ready" rule in the PHB: So really, you should not be able to use other Actions during the round if you are Readying. For example, if you get Extra Attack from Bladesinger, you can't attack once then Ready the 2nd attack. It also eats up your Reaction, which is important if you have any spells (Shield, Counterspell, etc...) that work off of the Reaction, or if an enemy provokes an Attack of Opportunity. That being said, there are some "legal" ways to double dip into the Sneak Attack pool...one being an enemy that provokes an AoO. If you have a Battlemaster in the group then they can use Commanding Strike so you can attack, or if you are a Multi-Class Battlemaster (or have the Martial Adept Feat) you can use the Riposte maneuver. All of these rely on you using a Reaction though, and are only valid in circumstances you would benefit from Sneak Attack. With Haste, just for clarification, you COULD still cast a Cantrip or Spell with your base Action, then Attack with the Hasted Action. With a 5th or 6th Level Bladesinger you do get the Extra Attack, and if you're Dual Wielding you could squeeze out Green-Flame Blade, 2 Attacks with main hand, and 1 off hand Attack while Hasted.
