Which is all kinds of broken, especially when rogues get two bonus actions. But it also steps on toes of specific class abilities unique to certain other ones (eldritch knight an valour bard in particular)


I'm not sure I understand this comment. It work exactly like the dndbeyond description says in BG3. By default, it will eat the action and bonus action and you get two hits, but you can disable the auto dual wield (right under the melee/ranged weapon select buttons) so only the action is taken. Then you can use the bonus action for something else. The only thing you can't do is decide which of the weapon is the action and which one is the bonus action.

You can also take an action with something and pick the weapon attack as bonus action.


its that last bit, in pnp you only get to make a bonus action weapon attack if your standard action was used to make a weapon attack, you cant do other action types and then bonus action attack. That's the remit of specific class abilities.
