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)| Warlock (with Pact of the Blade)]]
• Class level 6: College of Swords, and College of Valour

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.
  • Only applies 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.
  • This may prevent the use of the other for the rest of the Turn, 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.
  • Level 11  Fighters gain  an improved version of this ability, allowing for 2 Extra Attacks.
  •  Warlock's Pact of the Blade Extra Attack does stack with other sources, when not playing Honour Mode.
• Sources of additional Actions like  Hastened and  Elixir of Bloodlust can also have Extra Attack apply, when not playing 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.
  • A  Fighter's Action Surge allows for Extra Attack(s), regardless of difficulty.
• 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.
