Extra Attack

Template:Up to date

Extra Attack is a passive feature that allows you to make an additional attack when making an Attack Action.

Description

You can make an additional free attack after making an unarmed or weapon attack.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 5: Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, and Warlock (with Pact of the Blade)
• Class level 6: College of Swords Bard, and College of Valour Bard

Notes

• The initial Attack needs to cost an Action for Extra Attack to trigger;
  • Bonus actions (like  Flurry of Blows, Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack or an Eldritch Knight's War Magic) do not qualify.
  • Applies only to your character's primary weapon when using Dual Wield (as an offhand attack is considered a Bonus Action).
  • May not be used as part of a Reaction (like an Attack of Opportunity or Riposte).
  • Aside from basic attacks, works with any special ability that uses a weapon, unarmed, or throwing attack roll. There are also some other abilities that are explicitly coded to work:
    •  Commander's Strike
    •  Bufotoxin
    • Smokepowder Arrow
    • This information can be found in the definition of ExtraAttackSpellCheck() in Game/scripts/thoth/CommonConditions.khn obtained from unpacking Game.pak. (See Modding:Unpacking_and_converting_files).
• Spellcasting and these attacks are mutually exclusive, allowing for an Attack and Extra Attack(s), or a spell to be cast (even with separate Actions?^{[Needs Verification]}).
• Additional instances of Extra Attack do not stack; a multiclassed Ranger and Fighter with 5+ Levels in each will still only have 1 Extra Attack.
  • Warlock's Pact of the Blade Extra Attack does stack with other sources, when not playing Honour modeH^Honour.
  •  Hastened and  Elixir of Bloodlust grant additional Actions which can also have Extra Attack apply, when not playing Honour modeH^Honour.
    • For example, a  Hastened Level 11 Fighter with the Elixir of Bloodlust could attack 6 times, then an additional 3 if they got a kill that round.
    • Regardless of difficulty, Fighter's Action Surge will always allow Extra Attack(s).
  • Level 11 Fighters gain  an improved version of this ability, allowing for 2 Extra Attacks.
• Some other Classes have their own version of Extra Attack;
  • Pact of the Blade or Chain Warlock's Deepened Pact at level 5.
  • Druid's Wild Strike and Improved Wild Strike at Level 5 and 10.
  • Beast Master Ranger's Bestial Fury at level 11.
