[QUOTE="Satirical Bard, post: 8459034, member: 7032732"] I guess it depends first on what you want it to mean :) But if the intent is to have it combine with the Attack action (which is what I've always understood was the intent), then disconnecting it in this way contradicts that intent. Now you can 'fake' PTA. To my mind, that's a feint, not pressing the attack. I didn't see a problem with "when" because of some concept of order between actions and bonus actions - it seemed to me the intent was to add a tactical option to your Attack action at a cost (your BA). I don't see any rules anywhere in either o5e or a5e that says you [I]can't [/I]have them run simultaneously in this way, and even if there was that general rule, the principle of 'specific beats general' would override it. I suggested WHILE precisely because the word incorporates that simultaneous resolution more clearly than WHEN. [/QUOTE]
