Extra Attack

See also the Warlock version  Deepened Pact: Extra Attack

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;
  • Therefore Bonus Actions (like  Off-hand Attack,  Flurry of Blows, Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack, Eldritch Knight's War Magic) or Reactions (like  Opportunity Attack or  Riposte) do not qualify.
  • Any attack that uses a weapon, unarmed, or throwing attack roll can trigger, and be affected by Extra Attack. There are also some other abilities that are explicitly coded to work:
    •  Commander's Strike
    •  Bufotoxin
    • Smokepowder Arrow
  • Once Extra Attack is triggered all affected attacks will glow white and the action point will be removed from their cost. Other resources like bonus actions or class resources will stay.
• 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.
  •  Deepened Pact: Extra Attack does stack, but not in Honour mode.
  • Level 11 Fighters gain  an improved version of this ability, allowing for 2 Extra Attacks per trigger.
• 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.
• An attack made with the action gained from  Action Surge can trigger Extra Attack, regardless of difficulty.

Non-Honour mode

The notes below are changed to specifically not work in the Honour mode difficulty. They still work in Explorer, Balanced and Tactician:

• Warlock's Pact of the Blade  Deepened Pact: Extra Attack does stack with other sources.
• Sources of additional Actions like  Hastened and  Elixir of Bloodlust can also have Extra Attack apply. Only  Action Surge works in honour mode.
  • For example, a  Hastened Level 11 Fighter with  Elixir of Bloodlust on Tactician difficulty or below could attack 6 times, then an additional 3 times if they got a kill that round.
