Can a creature with multiple attacks choose a different target?

2) Attacks are made in series and are each entirely resolved before the next resolves, so yes a creature with multiple attacks can choose a different target based on the results of their earlier resolved attacks.

Why do you get more than one attack per round?

If you get more than one attack per round because your base attack bonus is high enough, because you fight with two weapons or a double weapon or for some special reason you must use a full-round action to get your additional attacks. You do not need to specify the targets of your attacks ahead of time.

How does the Extra Attack feature work in combat?

If you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks. For example, a fighter who can make two attacks with the Extra Attack feature and who has a speed of 25 feet could move 10 feet, make an attack, move 15 feet, and then attack again.

Do you have to specify targets ahead of time?

You do not need to specify the targets of your attacks ahead of time. You can see how the earlier attacks turn out before assigning the later ones. The fact that it specifies that you can decide who to target for each attack after the previous attacks have been resolved means that you can target different creatures with each attack.

How high can a PC’s initiative bonus get?

So, a level 6 character who was a Ranger 4/Wizard 2 who took the Alert feat at level 4 would have an initiative bonus of 5 + DEX + WIS + INT. So, if my Ranger 4/Wizard 2 example above made it all the way up to level 20 (Ranger 18/Wizard 2) and used all their ASIs to max out DEX, INT and WIS, they would then have an initiative bonus of 20.

How many attacks can a creature have on a PC?

So if it can use three attacks, and the first attack kills a PC, it still has two attacks. Note that creatures can split up their movement between any attacks, so it could attack-move-attack-move-attack.

Which is the character with the highest initiative?

For the Jack-Of-All-Trade, which gives you half proficiency in Initiative checks. Ranger (Revised): At least 3 levels. Natural Explorer gives advantage on initiative checks. Choose the Gloom Stalker Conclave for the Dread Ambusher feature.

How does multiple attacks work in D & D 5e?

Haven’t seen this topic addressed with respect to the 5e rules, but there are a couple of issues that require clarification. If a creature (or character) has the multiple attacks feature, it seems (though it is not explicitly specified) that all of the attacks take place at nearly the same time, i.e. on that creature’s turn in the initiative order.

Can a natural attack be used with a weapon?

Creatures with natural attacks and attacks made with weapons can use both as part of a full attack action (although often a creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam).
