[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 7869197, member: 72555"] Two Weapon Fighting: You are considered to be two weapon fighting when wielding a light melee weapon in each hand. While two weapon fighting, on your turn you may do one of the following: [LIST] [*]If you make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action, you may also make a melee weapon attack with the weapon in your other hand. [*]If you make a melee weapon attack as part of the attack action, you may make a melee weapon attack with the weapon in your other hand as a bonus action. [/LIST] but not both. Attacks granted by this rule do not add your attribute to damage. Design Notes: I attempt not to be clever. It does not stack with monk extra attacks, as it requires using a weapon in your hand, unless you have a weapon that somehow counts as an unarmed attack as well. Quickened booming blade (etc) will trigger the bonus action clause, but not the main clause because the attack isn't part of the attack action, but rather a spell. You could reword that if you want, but then twf stacks with multiattack (for example) as well. It is specific to TWF, not general. I consider that a plus. It does nothing different with haste: if you want haste to give you an extra offhand attack, I don't agree nor do I know clean wording. Haste already "stacks" in that the extra haste attack is not a bonus action. It does stack with the scimitar of speed. A +3 Scimitar and a +2 Speed on a level 20 Fighter gets 6 attacks (5 with +3 one with +2, snd one of the +3s does not get str-to-damage). [/QUOTE]
