Attack Options - Multiple attacks & Movement, Strength & Dexterity

Post date: Oct 01, 2014 10:21:31 PM

Thoughts on the below rules:

Moving between Attacks

If you take an action that includes more than one attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks. For example, a fighter who can make two attacks and who has a speed of 25 feet could move 10 feet, make an attack, move 15 feet, and then attack again.

Strength & Dexterity

For attacks with melee weapons, use your Strength modifier for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the finesse property, such as a rapier, can use your Dexterity modifier instead.

For attacks with ranged weapons, use your Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the thrown property, such as a handaxe, can use your Strength modifier.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.

If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.
