I have a few minutes before I hit the sack, so... short and sweet.Since Crawford's tweet (<a href="https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/1105277917582389248" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/1105277917582389248</a>) where he states the following:"As of the January edition of the Sage Advice Compendium PDF, my tweets aren't official rulings. I don't want people having to sift through my tweets for official rules calls.My tweets will preview official rulings in the compendium. And remember, the DM has the final say."There is no further point in debating this since the DM has the final say (as always) and there is no rule in the PHB or DMG that exists that will concretely clarify the position of Shield Master and the bonus attack and its timing. No matter who says what, there will always be someone who will feel otherwise.  Until an actual errata comes out addressing this, we have no where to turn.If the time comes where this is in the errata, perhaps I will revisit it with a concrete and definite ruling. Until then... I am moving on to other things on the forum.So, my compatriots in the d20 realms, all I can leave you with is a "Well met!" and PLAY ON! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
