Albeit the latter only happens at level 20, the former would happen already at level 3.So realistically, with 1 exertion and spending all action economy related resources, this fighter could do 4 attacks per round already at level 5, for only 1 exertion.Also, there's no spell or feature of any level (that I know of) that allows this double extra attack to happen in A5E, and AFAIK Action Surge was removed exactly to avoid these kinds of shenaningansSo long story short, for me this is a clear no.</blockquote>
