ToV Tales of the Valiant Weapon Master / Attacks per Round

[Thraic Ogmund]

I am currently playing a 9th level Weapon Master Fighter (Gearforged Lineage) in an ongoing campaign. Great fun as a class, though I want to make sure that I am not inadvertently cheating. My read of things is that, at 9th level, I get three attacks per round, and that (thanks to Martial Action) as a bonus action, I can use a weapon option. Then, thanks to Mastery, once per turn, I can roll damage when using a weapon option. This functionally allows for four attacks per round, one of which is also a weapon option. That feels like a lot for 9th level. No one is complaining, and the GM seems on board, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something here. Thoughts are welcomed. Many thanks.

Taking a look at the book, first of all you're missing Action surge, which can also bump you up one more action (per short rest).

You are also right on the ability to roll damage using weapon option. And your reading of Martial Action lines up with mine.

In summary - yes, it looks like 4 attacks (plus a weapon option) per turn and once per short rest, 5 attacks!

You are (in my head) that sith from the clone wars cartoon - the robot with like 4 lightsabers at once.

I guess the only bummer I could see is whiffing 4 rolls in a row in one turn! Rava (goddess of the Gearforged, among other hings) is definitely mad at you if that happens!

Could absolutely happen, with my rolling.

Agreed about Action Surge, though my read is that would get me three additional attacks, since is provides an extra action, Attack is an action and Multiattack provides three attacks when you take the Attack action.

Re the light saber - he does have a sun-blade, which we are basically treating as one.

Many thanks for your reading and response. It provides some comfort that I am not cheating (at least not by accident - I prefer my cheating to be intentional).

you're right on action surge. Good job checking my math!
