[QUOTE="Yunru, post: 7553623, member: 6780961"] Part of the absurdity for me is that the "official ruling" treats the present tense as the past tense. I mean, if "when you take the Attack action" means you have to have finished taking it, how does this work: "When you make an attack with a weapon, you roll a d20 and add your proficiency bonus (but only if you are proficient with the weapon) and the appropriate ability modifier." - Basic Rules, p11 By the same logic, once you've finished making your attack with the weapon, you then... roll to decide whether the attack even hit? Or hell, Precision Attack: "When you make a weapon attack roll against a creature, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the roll. You can use this maneuver before or after making the attack roll, but before any effects of the attack are applied." So you can use the maneuver before or after making the attack roll, but only once you've finished making the attack roll? GAAAAAAH! /rant [/QUOTE]
