Battle Master

Revision as of 10:37, 25 August 2023 by 73.22.170.55 (talk) (→‎Level 3: Tested in game, the wording is inconsistent in 2 places in game, On the level up / manuever picking screen the game says it costs an action + Reaction, but the actual ability itself costs an action + Bonus action. In practice the ability costs 1 attack of your action + Bonus action. (So if the battlemaster has extra attacks, they can use those as normal, minus 1 attack which is the cost for casting commander's strike.)
