Others have though; it's partly why I keep mentioning it.The trouble for you is, without that silly claim, you have no justification for insisting that the first element of that Attack action-the first attack-cannot be separated from 'taking the Attack action', when we know full well that all of the other attacks granted by taking that action CAN be taken later in the round.Nothing in the rules says that the first attack has some special restriction regarding when in your round you resolve it.And, when I get two or more attacks I make those attacks 'when I take the Attack action', by which you mean 'at the same time as you take the Attack action', right?But we know for a fact that is not the case. You can take your attacks whenever you want in your round, as long as you take the Attack action! What rule says that the first attack is tied to any particular time! I totally Agree.I take the Attack action, I then make my attacks whenever I want on my turn, using the rules for Making An Attack (AN attack, not ALL your attacks!) for each individual attack.I'm doing what it says on the tin.From what you say, someone has used a crayon to scribe words to the effect that "the first attack must be executed as soon as you 'take the Attack action' (a different thing, remember?) on that tin. Also, the crayon wielder has added to the rule, "you can take your bonus action whenever you want on your turn)", the words "except between 'taking the Attack action' and the execution of the first attack".You should be more discerning when you read those tins. The crayon is a dead giveaway!</blockquote>
