Hence "You can take the Attack action", with "attack" being pretty freaking vague if you think about it. Fast and loose, baby, fast and loose! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> In this case "Shooting = 2/round ; Throwing = 1/round" keeps with that idea.^_^Paul L.
