[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 8256869, member: 6799649"] This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the game's mechanics (rules) in running the game. In D&D (and any other RPG I've ever seen) there are some things the rules [I]do[/I] cover, and some things the rules [I]don't[/I] cover. For the things the rules don't cover (like....breathing without being suffocated, eating, shaving, excreting....), that's what the DM is for. The expectation is that these things work just in the game world just like they do in our world, and the DM is expected to rule as such if it ever comes up in play. These things are also not covered by rules because they are not interesting in the fantasy genre. But for the things the rules [I]do[/I] cover (moving in combat, attacking, etc.), then the rules are permissive; meaning they do what they say they do, and you can't claim that your 1st level fighter can cast [I]wish[/I] at will on the grounds that there are no rules that say I can't! As a rules question, yes, you can Dash twice per round if you can Dash as a bonus action. RAI has also been solved. JC has answered this specific question, and yes they can Dash twice per round and yes this is intended. [/QUOTE]
