[QUOTE="Quartz, post: 7467212, member: 40552"] Yes, I see. The thing is that I'm looking for how this can be abused. And it can be easily abused. I happened to pick on Sharpshooter as the obvious example. The combination of this with the Duellist fighting style is another example. As is the combination with TWF. And then there's Action Surge. I'm sure there are others. Any extra attack has to be a Bonus Action. But as written, even for melee this style is OP on its own. Take a level 4 PC with an 18 stat. The dagger user gets a base of 2d4+8 or 10-16. A heavy weapon user gets 1-12+4 or 5-16. You could apply Duellist style on top for another +4 damage making 14-22 or TWF for another d4+4 or 15-24. Combine all three somehow for 21-30. And the daggers can be thrown. Apply GWM (to be fair to the heavy weapon wielder) and Sharpshooter and the heavy weapon user gets 15-26 versus the dagger user's 30-36. Why bother with a big weapon? And the dagger wielder can have a shield. Now, make the extra attack a Bonus Action and it's still very good, but it falls in line with the other styles and feats and the heavy weapon wielder can maybe get an extra attack as their Bonus Action, doing 10-32 or 30-52 with GWM.
