[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7569772, member: 6919838"] "There are other things that we feel aren't quite right, either, such as rogue and clerics even only getting 1 attack. " But this isn't true. Rogues often have dual wielding going on with light finesse weapons - so frequently they get a bonus action attack. IIRC some sub-classes also get an extra strike in some circumstances but i might be misrecalling. Clerics - some clerics, specific to combat type divines, get extra attacks as part of their domain features. So your nature priest or light priest may not but they might if you are war domain. Also, cleric get to weaponize their bonus actions with some very effective options like bonus action cures and Spiritual Weapon. The decisions on when and where extra attack got added in seem to have been made with what turns out to be in my experience well thought out overall view in mind. Groups can change whatever they want of course, but this thing you mention here is one of the ones IMX they got pretty right so unless your group has a much different experience, i would advise proceed at your own risk. i would expect that if every cleric and rogue got added one extra attack (with some domains getting more on top of that) there would be fewer fighters than now, replaced with clerics and rogues and whichever classes also got that boost - like druids maybe.
