Moreover, you can cast one of your cantrips in place of one of those attacks.Approaching this from a rules lawyering pov doesn't help because, as usual, the wording is ambiguous and open to interpretation. Perhaps some of you will jump of this and insist it is obvious to read it one way, but i assure you, having gone thru the 'interpretative arguments', the wording is ambiguous. ie. i could see a future Sage Advice going either way.Approaching this from a balance perspective by comparing 11th lvl pure Battlemaster fighter to the 13th level multiclass seems to put them relatively equal (on the one side you have three attacks modifiable with manuvers and your bonus action available, and the other you have 3 attacks when you expend a bonus action, and one of the attacks is modifiable with a cantrip like booming blade). the multiclass, as a spell casting class, can add a concentration buff, like shadowblade, which is very good, but it is long rest resource dependent (and dispel vulnerable), while the battlemaster is just short rest dependent. But overall this seems roughly balanced to me? am i wrong?Anyone have any thoughts? Should the synergy be allowed from a balance perspective?</blockquote>
