Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corinnguard" data-source="post: 8664275" data-attributes="member: 7033886">Last night, a fellow player and I got to talking about how his character (a female 8th-level Elven Bladesinger Wizard) would cast Haste on my character (a male 8th-level Bronze Dragonborn Fighter [Scout]) before or during combat. I curiously asked him if my character's Action Surge would stack with the effects of the Haste. We both got excited at the possibility of them stacking with one another right at that point. And so we tried to figure out how many actions my character could perform while the Action Surge was in effect for his first round of combat. Before my fellow player came up with the idea of hasting my character, I was already using Action Surge to unleash his Lightning Breath Weapon before using his melee attacks (he uses the Two-Weapon Fighting style and a variant of the Duel-Wielding feat from D&D Wiki to make four attacks with primary and offhand weapons). So an additional action (from the Action Surge) + 2 Attack actions + Bonus Action (to make 2 offhand attacks via the variant Duel-Wielding feat) + Movement? 5 actions in all?With Haste in the first round:  Additional action (from Haste) + Additional action (Action Surge) + 2 Attack Actions + Bonus Action (again making two offhand attacks with the variant feat) + Movement? This would bring it up to six. I want to make sure the math here is correct. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> My fellow player and I are looking to use this Shock and Awe tactic during our adventure in Avernus. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Thoughts? I am aware of the spell's major drawback should the spell end after a minute or when the wizard has her concentration broken.</blockquote>
