[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6581496, member: 12731"] Yes. The off hand attack you do with a second weapon, you do with your bonus action on your turn. You do not get to make a whack with your off hand weapon each time you act. Only if you spend your one and only bonus attack do your offhand weapon come into business. And that will only happen once each turn. Since Haste does not say you gain an additional bonus action, you can't do anything extra with your offhand weapon with Haste compared to without Haste. Anytime you spend your bonus action on anything else than making that off hand whack, you don't get to make it. Just picking up the off hand weapon does nothing except add a way to spend your bonus action - a type of action you usually get only one of each turn. Not even Haste adds a second bonus action to your turn. Haste means to add one to whatever number of attacks you normally get. If a Frenzied Barbarian usually gets three attacks, now he gets four. If a Wizard usually gets one attack, now she gets two. If a max level Fighter usually gets four attacks, now she gets five. Nothing special about your case. Just add one. If a low-level Ranger normally gets two attacks (one in each hand), now he gets three. (You add one, not two, just as for everybody else.) It simply is +1 attacks. Regardless. [/QUOTE]
