    Multiple Attacks

    Quick question for the group. I recently, about a year ago, switched from PF1 to D&D 5e. In PF, I could roll all of my attacks, if I had multiple, with a single action in FG. Is there a way to do this in 5e.

    I am currently playing a two-weapon fighting fighter that also gets an extra attack (3 total attacks if using my bonus action). It would be really cool if I could roll multiples at the same time.

    Thanks.

    The question is, do you want to?

    Suppose your 1st attack kills the opponent, then your other 2 rolls are wasted. Even in a face-2-face game, I roll them separately unless I am certain a single hit won’t take the enemy down.

    No, there isn't such a thing in 5e. As johnecc alluded to you don't want to make all your attacks at once anyway for the reasons he specified but also if the first or second attacks are critical hits then the next roll will remove the critical flag and you'll need to manually apply the critical damage. There are many other reasons why you don't want to make all your attacks at once as well. There's no benefit from making all your attacks at once.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    I totally agree with your comments about not always wanting to do such a thing. Frankly, it was more of a situation of me being curious.

    Thank you for the responses.
    Cheers!!

    You could use this EXT and set it up as a spell.
