Crossbow Expert gives you a bonus action consisting of a single attack. You don't have a bonus action that Crossbow Expert allows you to make attacks with. You otherwise don’t have a bonus action to take. Of the game states that you can do something as a bonusĪction. To address your comment, we have the preceding text from the definition of bonus actions:Īction only when a special ability, spell, or other feature So even if every attack you make with a one-handed weapon allows you to make an attack as a bonus action, you can still only take one bonus action and make one attack. You must choose which bonus action to use when you You can take only one bonus action on your turn, so Fortunately, it doesn't really matter, because: Your second ambiguity is ambiguous it could mean that each attack with a one-handed weapon allows you to use a bonus action to attack or that the Attack action as a whole does. So "you can use a bonus action to attack" means that you can use a bonus action to make one attack, not to take the Attack action. Just like the quotes in your question, it refers to the Attack action and an attack as two entirely separate things.
Of the fighter, allow you to make more than one attack See the “Making an Attack” section for the rulesĬertain features, such as the Extra Attack feature With this action, you make one melee or rangedĪttack. The most common action to take in combat is the AttackĪction, whether you are swinging a sword, firing anĪrrow from a bow, or brawling with your fists. Heck, both of the quotes in your question make that distinction.įor reference, the Attack action is defined as: The distinction between an Attack action and an attack is pretty clear. Your first ambiguity isn't really ambiguous at all. (One bonus shot per Attack action, or one bonus shot per attack within the Attack action?) Or even if it does mean "you can use a bonus action to take one shot", it is ambiguous whether it means "an Attack action in which you use a one-handed weapon gives you an opportunity to shoot during your bonus action" or "a one-handed weapon attack made during an Attack action gives you an opportunity to shoot during your bonus action". It is ambiguous whether "you can use a bonus action to attack" means "you can use a bonus action to take exactly one shot" or "you can use your bonus action for the round as an Attack action". ( Assume he can do this with the same hand crossbow.) He shoots twice using his Extra Attack feature. He is limited to using a hand crossbow during this action. Using the last benefit of Crossbow Expert, he makes this an Attack action. He takes an Attack action using his Extra Attack feature along with the first benefit of Crossbow Expert, he shoots twice during this action. When you use the Attack action and attack with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a loaded hand crossbow you are holding. You ignore the loading quality of crossbows with which you are proficient. 72):īeginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
The fighter's Extra Attack feature says (PHB, p. In D&D 5e, can a 5th-level fighter shoot a hand crossbow 4 times per turn using the Crossbow Expert feat?
