The answer to this is found in Chapter 9: Combat of the Player’s Handbook or the Basic Rules, under “Actions In Combat”: None of your scenarios are quite correct.
The only thing that ends is the Attack Action portion of your turn.you may still have Bonus Actions or Movement available to you depending on what else has happened during your turn.įinally, both and have brought up excellent points in the comments below: not only can you choose to move between your multiple attacks, you can basically 'trade' one (or more) of your attacks for the ability to do something other than just a normal weapon attack. Converserly, you cannot take the Attack Action, and then take a different Action (like Dash, Disengage, etc) instead of your second attack.Īlso, it's important to remember that your turn doesn't necessarily end once you take your second attack. If you take any other Action, you do NOT then get to make one attack because of this feature. Keep in mind that this feature is only available when you take the Attack Action. You can take the second attack regardless of whether you hit or miss with the first attack.
The Extra Attack feature simply gives you an extra attack anytime you take the Attack Action. Options 1 AND 3 are both correct in terms of how this feature works.
