[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 7168975, member: 31754"] So are you suggesting that the limit on bonus actions should be increased to 2? Honestly nothing "breaks", it just slows down the game. Even allowing the extra attack from two weapon fighting in addition to a bonus action slows down the game. It is just whether you think the extra time is worth the benefit. But for an example I guess, with no bonus actions, a Fighter 2/Monk 5 could use 2 shortswords, Action Surge, spend 2 Ki point, and get 10 attacks, each doing 1d6+4 damage. (Standard action attack action for two attacks, bonus off hand attack, Ki point 2 unarmed attacks, Action Surge attack action for two attacks, bonus off hand attack, Ki point 2 unarmed attacks. That's 10.) Cast a cantrip and two bonus action spells? Maybe a wizard casts Firebolt, moves his Flaming Sphere and Misty Steps in the same turn? Not really game breaking though. I already have suggested that the cantrip limit be dropped from bonus actions spells as it causes confusion that is not needed. Now if you have a Barbarian/Bard/Monk/Rogue/Wizard that Extra Attacks, Shadow Steps, uses Martial Arts, Misty Steps, Dashes, Bardic Inspires, then Rages it starts to get a little silly, but by then you already have so many classes it is already silly. But just two? Probably not broken. [/QUOTE]
