| Jun 30, 2019 at 23:41 | comment | added | Journer | This is why there is a distinction in the descriptions between, "when you make an attack", and "if you take the Attack action"; the first requires you complete an attack before using the listed feature, the second only requires that you are attacking and not dashing, dodging, etc. | |

You should probably cite the source of the rules and format them as quotes. | |

If you wanted to speak to the Orc you say "I tell the Orc that...". Immediately after you say "attack", "speak", "disengage" etc you "declare" that action. It is not an official thing, it's just how the language works | |
| Jun 30, 2019 at 21:17 | comment | added | Black Spike | When you take the Attack Action, you are granted the ability to Attack a number of times (default: 1. Including Extra Attack, 2). Commander's Strike allows you to alter this, reducing it by 1. If you only had 1, you do not Attack. If you have Extra Strike, you Attack once, either way, you get your Commander's Strike ability | |

| Jun 30, 2019 at 21:15 | comment | added | iaminsensible | I said No as in it's not true. Your if statement suggests that under specific circumstances this applies which is not true, thus I began my answer with a No. I answered to the question "Taking an Attack action means making an entire attack which consequently means that this maneuver is useless until you acquire extra attack..." | |
