[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6364925, member: 1465"] They also didn't stack in the playtest, at least not in the usual sense that if you get 1 Extra Attack as Fighter 5 and 1 Extra Attack as Paladin 5, you [I]don't[/I] get 2 Extra Attack. I don't remember very well because it never came up during our playtest, but I think multiclassing rules had a short paragraph about how to deal with classes that both granted Extra Attack, specifically because those extras don't stack. But AFAIK the [I]class levels[/I] in e.g. Fighter and Paladin stacked to determine the first Extra Attack (so that a Fighter 3/Paladin 2 would get it -> NO, see EDIT), although I am not sure! It also said IIRC that in order to get the [I]third[/I] attack you really needed 11 levels of Fighter instead. How does it work now in the PHB? EDIT: now I checked better from the playtest, it was slightly more complicated. You either got the first Extra Attack at the 5th level of Fighter OR with 8 total levels in multiple classes granting Extra Attacks. Which at that time I thought it was wrong in some cases, e.g. you would get Extra Attack if you're a Paladin 5, but not if you are Paladin 5/Fighter 2? [/QUOTE]
