Dual-wielding daggers does 0.5 more damage than a two-handed quarterstaff on average if all attacks hit, but the dual-daggering dweomerer has to juggle the Object Interaction on their turn if he wants to do this in a combat where he's also slinging spells that use Somatic or Material components. | |

| Nov 16, 2020 at 13:00 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | The rules state: "You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless the bonus action’s timing is specified" though it's unclear how exactly that applies to TWF. I've actually discussed this a bit before. 5e doesn't do a great job at explaining when "when" is. Just wanted to explain that I do see where this answer is coming from and which parts of it people likely disagree with. (The actual trigger for TWF and when you could actually use the BA attack depending on that trigger). | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 12:56 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | Just want to say that I do believe this answers makes sense, though you may want to quote the rules directly. I think you'll find that people would say that even if TWF is triggered by making an attack with a light melee weapon, that does not mean you must use it immediately after that attack. Of course, that's an iffy part of the rules with some features explicitly saying they happen immediately after their trigger and Crawford saying it can happen any time on that same turn. | |
