May 27, 2020 at 16:31 comment added Mike Murphy The "and a possible bonus action" serves no real purpose other than to introduce this kind of confusion. In a rule book this thick and complex, there isn't much room for this kind of stuff.
Mar 11, 2019 at 20:15 comment added recognizer @V2Blast The SA Compendium actually notes that it was altered in new printings of the PHB. The errata PDF unfortunately does not include the clarified wording.
Jan 30, 2019 at 19:20 comment added V2Blast This is confirmed by the 2019 Sage Advice Compendium, which also references that the wording of Action Surge was simplified in the 2018 PHB errata to clarify it and remove the wording that was causing confusion. (EDIT: ...But the change isn't noted in the errata PDF.)

Jun 22, 2015 at 22:29 comment added Ben So - my understanding now is that Action Surge does not actually require a bonus action to use..?
