Right now, though, there are NO primary melee combatants that don't get at least one extra attack. Paladins actually get the extra damage on each attack (Imp. Divine Smite) AND extra attacks; other classes that don't get extra attacks include the rogue and several cleric subdomains. In my experience, 5e rogues often get the extra attack anyway through off-hand weapons, and clerics (even more martially-inclined ones) are primary casters first, melee characters second.If we were going to rank those classes on a spectrum of melee combatant effectiveness -- starting with fighter/barb/paladin, moving through bladelock and valor bard and rogue and cleric -- my conception of a psywar probably puts them between the fighter/barb tier and the bladelock/bard tier. Not getting access to an extra attack at lvl 5 just doesn't make much sense with that in mind. I'd consider getting the extra attack to be a fundamental element of playing a warrior-type character, and if there's another mechanic being considered that makes it not work, then the other mechanic needs to be changed to accommodate the extra attack.</blockquote>
