Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asgorath" data-source="post: 7772136" data-attributes="member: 6921966">I think we're in violent agreement about Shield Master, since that bonus action has timing requirements that must be met before you even have access to the bonus action.However, there are plenty of bonus actions without timing requirements, and those can be taken at any time on your turn (as clearly stated by the rules).  The example we keep using is Misty Step, which does not say "if you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to teleport up to 30 feet...".  It's just a spell with a casting time of 1 bonus action.  The bonus action rules say you get to decide when to take the bonus action, unless it specifies timing.  Thus, between attacks granted by Extra Attack while taking the Attack action counts as any point on your turn, and thus you can Misty Step or cast Healing Word and so on (i.e. any bonus action that doesn't have a timing requirement to actually trigger the bonus action).Or, in other words, just because Shield Master requires the Attack action to be taken and completed, doesn't mean that rule applies to all other bonus actions.</blockquote>
