[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 6600654, member: 6788736"] No he doesnt. He attacks [I]once [/I]with the attack option. And once (with his off hand) as a bonus action. You only get one bonus action each turn. Read the combat section of the PHB. Action Surge grants an extra [B]action[/B]. Not an extra attack. Not an extra bonus action. So your Fighter uses his action to take the [B]Attack [/B]action. He makes one attack. He then uses Action Surge to gain another action which he again uses for the [B]Attack [/B]action. He then uses his bonus action to make an off-hand attack. Total: three attacks. Sigh. No extra attack allows [I]two [/I]attacks each time he takes the Attack action. So your Fighter 5 uses his action to take the Attack action. He makes two attacks. He then uses Action Surge to gain another action which he again uses for the Attack action (making two more attacks). He then uses his single bonus action to make a single off-hand attack. Total: five attacks. Plently. Its totally suboptimal compared to the other fighting styles. [/QUOTE]
